This bill establishes new provisions for the removal of members of the Council on Judicial Complaints in Oklahoma. It allows for the removal of council members if there is reasonable evidence that they failed to properly discipline individuals under the jurisdiction of the Court on the Judiciary who are believed to have committed significant ethical violations or felonies. The bill mandates that the Attorney General investigate any such complaints and, if reasonable cause is found, initiate proceedings in the Supreme Court to remove the offending council members.
Additionally, the bill outlines that the procedures for the removal of council members will align with existing statutes in Sections 95 through 105 of Title 51 of the Oklahoma Statutes. This new law will be codified as Section 91A of Title 51 and is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
