What this bill does
H.R. 10390 is a bill introduced in the 119th Congress that would amend title 28 of the United States Code, which governs the organization and procedures of the federal courts. According to its title, the bill would establish a requirement for mandatory transfer requests in cases involving complaints filed against circuit court judges, along with other unspecified related provisions. Beyond this stated purpose, the full text of the bill has not yet been published, so the specific mechanics of how such transfers would work, who would initiate them, or what standards would apply cannot be described at this time.
Because the detailed language is not available, it is not yet possible to say precisely which individuals or institutions would be most affected—though the subject matter suggests the bill would primarily concern the federal judiciary's internal complaint and disciplinary processes involving circuit court judges, and potentially the parties who file such complaints.
The bill was introduced on September 15, 2026, by Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI-5) and currently carries the status of "Introduced," the earliest stage in the legislative process. It has not yet been scheduled for committee action, debate, or a vote. As with most introduced bills, its next steps would typically involve referral to and consideration by a relevant House committee before any further action could occur.
