HI HB2675

Allows parties in appellate court proceedings to file a motion for a hearing on possible conflict of interest when they believe a judge or justice has a disqualifying conflict of interest or bias.

Requires the remaining judges or justices on the appellate panel to hear and rule on the conflict of interest motion, while the subject judge or justice is disqualified from voting on it.

Permits the judge or justice who is the subject of the motion to file a written response or voluntarily recuse themselves before the hearing occurs.

Limits parties to filing only one motion per judge or justice, and requires all motions to be accompanied by a certificate from counsel affirming the motion is made in good faith.

Takes effect on July 1, 2050.
