Summary
The Monitor Accountability Act requires the Judicial Conference to create rules governing how courts appoint monitors to oversee state or local governments. It caps fees, limits monitor terms to five years, bans multiple simultaneous monitorships, and mandates public notice and annual reporting. The goal is to make monitoring more transparent, affordable, and to encourage pro bono work.
