Senate Bill No. 1088 amends various sections of the Oklahoma Statutes related to the Council on Judicial Complaints. Key modifications include the removal of the quarterly reporting requirement to legislative leaders, the authorization for the Council to employ an attorney, and the clarification of the procedures for handling judicial complaints. The bill also updates the public policy statement to include new actions the Council can take regarding complaints, such as forwarding cases to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation for further investigation. Additionally, it establishes confidentiality for certain records while requiring the maintenance and publication of a complaint docket that excludes identifying information about the complainants and judges involved.

The bill mandates that the Council submit an annual report detailing the number and nature of complaints received, their dispositions, and any recommendations made, while ensuring that identifying information remains confidential. It specifies the contents of the report, including statistics on complaints and summaries of misconduct, and requires the report to be made available on the Council's website. The effective date for the bill is set for November 1, 2025.
