What it does
The Justice is BLIND Act of 2026 would require federal justices, judges, magistrate judges, bankruptcy judges, and their spouses and dependent children to place certain financial interests—such as stocks, commodities, and derivatives—into qualified blind trusts within 90 days of taking office or the bill’s enactment. It prohibits dissolving or controlling those trusts until 180 days after leaving office and mandates written attestations of compliance, which would be made publicly available by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. The bill excludes widely held diversified funds, U.S. Treasury securities, and employment compensation from the definition of covered financial interests.
