The legislation sets strict minimum gift and financial disclosure standards for Supreme Court justices and their law clerks, aligning them with rules for the House and Senate. It expands disqualification rules for judges and justices when they have financial ties or receive gifts from parties involved in a proceeding. Additionally, the bill mandates that parties and those filing amicus briefs disclose certain financial contributions, gifts, and lobbying activities.
