Bill overview
This bill aims to ensure that federal judicial officials serving in the District of Columbia must also be residents of the District. It modifies existing laws to require circuit and district court judges, U.S. attorneys, and U.S. marshals appointed to the District of Columbia to live there. The changes primarily affect residency requirements, with some exceptions for specific districts like the Southern District of New York.
