## Summary

**Keeps judicial misconduct investigations moving even if a judge leaves office.** This bill would add a new subsection to 28 U.S.C. §352 and revise §353(c) so a judge's resignation, retirement under chapter 17, or death would not automatically stop or dismiss a complaint. - Complainants: Would preserve active complaints and the procedural posture of investigations when a judge resigns, retires, or dies, so cases stay open for review. - Special Committees: Would require each committee appointed under §353(a) to complete its investigation and file a report regardless of a vacancy. - Judges and former judges: Would prevent leaving office from being used as a reason to end or dismiss misconduct proceedings. - Judicial accountability: Would strengthen continuity in oversight by ensuring vacancies do not interrupt complaint handling or reporting.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Misconduct investigations continue after judge leaves: benefit, low. This bill would keep court misconduct cases going even if the judge quits, retires, or dies. Complaints would not be closed just because the judge leaves office. Special committees would still need to finish the investigation and file their report. If enacted, this would take effect upon enactment.
