Bill overview
This bill, the Cameras in the Courtroom Act, would allow for the television broadcasting of all open sessions of the Supreme Court. Currently, the Supreme Court operates under a longstanding policy of restricting media coverage. The bill would establish a process for the Court to decide whether to allow television coverage of a specific case, ensuring that it doesn't infringe upon the due process rights of the parties involved. This would increase public access to the Court’s proceedings.
