Justice is BLIND Act of 2026

This bill would require federal justices, judges, magistrate judges, and bankruptcy judges, along with their spouses and dependent children, to place their stocks, commodities, futures, and similar financial interests into a qualified blind trust within 90 days. Diversified widely held mutual funds, U.S. Treasury securities, and pay a spouse or child receives from an employer would not be covered. Judges could not dissolve or control the trust until 180 days after leaving the bench. Each judge would have to attest in writing that the trust was set up, or that the family holds no covered interests, and the courts' administrative office would post these attestations in a public online database.
