A bill to amend chapter 57 of title 28, United States Code, to provide for a code of conduct for justices and judges of the courts of the United States, establish an Ethics Investigations Counsel, and require disclosure of recusals.

S5121 was introduced on July 23, 2026, by Senator Christopher Murphy (D-CT) with 14 original cosponsors, all Democrats and one Independent. The bill was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, indicating an early-stage procedural step. The bill aims to amend Title 28 of the U.S. Code to establish a code of conduct for justices and judges of the federal courts, create an Ethics Investigations Counsel, and require disclosure of recusals. There is no authorized funding or appropriation in the bill text provided; it is a governance and ethics reform measure. The legislative path requires committee hearings, markup, and floor votes in both chambers. Given its focus on judicial ethics, the bill does not allocate funds, create contracts, or impose regulatory costs on any private sector. No publicly traded companies are directly affected, as the bill targets federal judiciary operations. The convergence analysis found no related signals or procurement that connect to this bill, as it is an isolated governance reform without industry or technology ties.
