Evidence

unverified · Source version 44745 · locator unknown

The release says the Judicial Integrity Act would apply the federal conflict-of-interest statute to the federal judiciary and restrict judges and justices from participating in official matters in which they hold a financial interest. It also says U.S. Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove is leading companion legislation in the House, and quotes her saying she is proud to introduce the Judicial Integrity Act to require judicial employees to meet the same financial conflict-of-interest standards as the executive branch.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Kamlager-Dove took concrete action during her House term by introducing/leading House companion legislation matching the promise, but the release describes proposed legislation, not enacted law.

Current 18 U.S.C. 208(a) applies to officers or employees of the executive branch, independent agencies, Federal Reserve bank directors/officers/employees, and District of Columbia officers or employees; it does not include judicial branch officers or employees. The same chapter states that, except as otherwise provided, the terms officer and employee in sections 207 through 209 do not include a Federal judge.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): As of the refresh date, the federal statute had not been amended to impose the promised personal-financial-interest prohibition on judiciary officers and employees, so the commitment remains unresolved rather than delivered.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The current official U.S. Code text still frames 18 U.S.C. 208 around executive-branch and related covered employees, so the promised judicial-branch prohibition has not been enacted as of the latest available code text.

Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-09-14 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

The verified commitment is to amend federal law to prohibit judiciary officers and employees from official acts affecting personal financial interests. Verified evidence shows the proposal was referred to the House Judiciary Committee and that the introduced bill text covers federal judges and Supreme Court justices, but the verified passages do not show enactment of the prohibition. Because an attempt without enactment does not satisfy an enact-or-achieve outcome, and no deadline has expired as of 2026-09-14, the outcome remains unresolved. The bill activity supports an effort badge.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

The promised prohibition has not been enacted: 18 U.S.C. 208 still does not extend the personal-financial-interest bar to federal judicial branch officers and employees or federal judges. Kamlager-Dove did materially advance the promise by leading/introducing House companion legislation, the Judicial Integrity Act, during her House service, but proposed legislation is not delivery of the promised legal prohibition. Because she remains in federal office and the effort is still pending rather than definitively failed, the outcome is unresolved with an effort badge.
