This bill would require federal judges and federal prosecutors (including their spouses) to file financial disclosure reports every three months with oversight authorities instead of the current annual disclosure requirements. Federal judges would submit these quarterly reports to the Judicial Conference, while U.S. Attorneys and Assistant U.S. Attorneys would submit theirs to the Attorney General. If the Judicial Conference discovers that a judge received payments from a foreign government, it must report this to the Attorney General for potential enforcement action. Anyone who fails to file these quarterly disclosures would face a penalty of $5,000 for each 30-day period of non-compliance. The bill does not authorize new funding or establish specific implementation timelines beyond the quarterly filing requirement.
