Evidence

H.R.926 was introduced February 9, 2023 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. Congress.gov lists its latest action as referral to committee and its status as Introduced. The CRS summary says the bill would require the Supreme Court to adopt a code of conduct and procedures to receive and investigate misconduct complaints.

The House bill related to Supreme Court ethics did not become law in the 118th Congress; it remained only introduced/referred. Its provisions addressed complaint procedures, not the creation of the specific Office of Ethics Counsel and Office of Investigative Counsel promised.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Glenn Ivey [D-MD-4] as a cosponsor of H.R.926, added April 17, 2023.

Ivey took concrete legislative action by cosponsoring a Supreme Court ethics bill in his first House term, but the bill did not establish the promised offices and did not become law.

Congress.gov lists S.359's latest action as placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar on September 5, 2023, and says the bill has the status Introduced.

The Senate companion advanced out of committee but was not enacted. No federal law establishing the promised Supreme Court ethics and investigative counsel offices resulted from this effort.

Title 28, Chapter 45 lists Supreme Court offices and personnel sections including Clerk, Marshal, Reporter, Librarian, Law clerks and secretaries, Printing and binding, and Counselor to the Chief Justice. It does not list an Office of Ethics Counsel or Office of Investigative Counsel.

Current statutory Supreme Court office provisions do not include the two promised offices, supporting a finding that the promise has not been delivered by law.

The Supreme Court issued a Code of Conduct on November 13, 2023, stating that the Justices were promulgating ethics rules and principles that guide members of the Court.

The Court adopted an ethics code during Ivey's first term, but this official action did not establish an Office of Ethics Counsel or an Office of Investigative Counsel within the Supreme Court.

The promised outcome was the creation of an Office of Ethics Counsel and an Office of Investigative Counsel within the U.S. Supreme Court. Current Supreme Court statutory office provisions do not include those offices, and the Supreme Court's 2023 Code of Conduct did not create them. Ivey cosponsored H.R.926 in his first House term, a related Supreme Court ethics bill, but it remained introduced/referred and did not enact the promised offices. That supports failed delivery with effort credit, not fulfillment.
