S-2854 : Still Just a Bill

---

The "District of Columbia Judicial Nominations Reform Act" (S. 2854) proposes significant changes to the process of appointing judges in the District of Columbia. The primary purpose of this legislation is to:

• Terminate the District of Columbia Judicial Nomination Commission.
• Amend the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to reflect this termination.

Specifically, the bill would:

• Eliminate the requirement that the President nominate judges from a list recommended by the Judicial Nomination Commission. Instead, the President would directly nominate judges.
• Remove the Commission's role in designating chief judges, transferring this responsibility to the President.
• Update various sections of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act and the District of Columbia Official Code to remove all references to the Judicial Nomination Commission, including those related to judicial qualifications.

These amendments would apply to judicial appointments made on or after the bill's enactment date.
