What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Transparency and Responsibility in Upholding Standards in the Judiciary Act" or the "TRUST Act," seeks to amend title 28 of the United States Code. It specifically addresses how a vacancy in judicial office affects complaints made against judges. The legislation ensures that a judge's resignation, retirement, or death cannot be used as a reason to dismiss a complaint or stop an investigation. It requires special committees to complete their investigations and file reports regardless of whether the judge leaves office.
