AI Summary

  • Establishes that the Board on Judicial Standards review procedures for 90-day disposition compliance shall apply unless the Board's own rules provide different procedures.

  • Requires the state judicial information system director to provide monthly reports to chief judges identifying matters exceeding 90 days without disposition, rather than notifying the Board's executive secretary annually.

  • Implements a three-tier escalation process: first infraction triggers notification to the chief judge; second infraction within five years requires the chief judge to develop a written remedial plan within 45 days; third infraction within five years requires Board action.

  • Mandates that remedial plans include measures for timely decisions, compliance timelines, and audit procedures to monitor progress, with failure to comply triggering Board notification.

  • Specifies that if a chief judge commits an infraction, the assistant chief judge assumes responsibility for the remedial actions that would normally be the chief judge's responsibility.
