Bill overview
This bill, the Cameras in the Courtroom Act, allows for television coverage of all open sessions of the Supreme Court. It establishes a process where the Court can decide, by a majority vote, whether to prohibit television coverage in a specific case if it believes it would infringe on the due process rights of the parties involved. This change would make Supreme Court proceedings more accessible to the public. The bill specifically amends Title 28 of the U.S. Code to reflect this new policy.
