Legislation that would subject U.S. Supreme Court justices and federal judges to tougher disclosure requirements for their financial holdings and stock trades passed the House of Representatives this week, Reuters reports. The bill won Senate passage in February and now goes to President Joe Biden for his signature. The legislation, which won bipartisan support, was introduced last fall after the Wall Street Journal reported that more than 130 federal judges had failed to recuse themselves from cases involving companies in which they or their family members owned stock. Yahoo News has the story.
