This bill would increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court from nine to thirteen by amending federal law to change the number of associate justices from eight to twelve and adjusting related provisions accordingly. The legislation was introduced by Representative Green of Texas in May 2026 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The bill would affect the Supreme Court's composition and operations, as well as potentially impact the balance of judicial power in the federal court system. No specific funding or implementation timeline is specified in the bill text provided. This represents a significant constitutional change that would require passage in both the House and Senate before becoming law.
