Abstract

Clarifies that the disqualification requirements for judges also apply to justices. Establishes a process by which a party before an appellate court in the State, who believes that the judge or justice presiding over their case may have a disqualifying conflict of interest, may move for a hearing on possible conflict of interest. Prohibits the appellate court judge or justice who is subject to the motion to hear or rule on the motion but allows them to file a response or voluntarily recuse themselves from presiding over the pending action or proceeding.
