What it does

The Cameras in the Courtroom Act would permit television coverage of all open sessions of the U.S. Supreme Court unless a majority of justices votes that such coverage would violate the due process rights of parties in a specific case. The bill amends Title 28 of the United States Code to add a new section requiring the Court to allow televising of proceedings by default, with an exception only for due process concerns determined by a majority vote. It affects the Supreme Court’s operations and public access to its proceedings, establishing a presumption in favor of televised coverage. The bill was introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
