Senate Bill No. introduced by B. Usher aims to prohibit judicial officers from initiating or conducting professional disciplinary proceedings against attorneys who serve as constitutional officers or members of the legislature for actions taken during their term of public office. The bill emphasizes the importance of protecting the constitutional rights of these officials, including their freedom of speech and due process, by ensuring that disciplinary measures do not deter or retaliate against them for their lawful duties. Exceptions are made for disciplinary actions related to courtroom behavior that disrupts judicial proceedings.

The bill also includes provisions that allow attorneys facing disciplinary proceedings to file a motion to dismiss or quash such actions. Additionally, it defines "judicial officer" to encompass various judicial roles and entities involved in disciplinary processes. Notably, the bill removes the immediate effective date and retroactive applicability clauses that were previously included, focusing instead on the codification of the new restrictions within existing law.
