Dossier Legislative introduced 23-jun-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Cameras in the Courtroom Act

Key claim: The Cameras in the Courtroom Act (S1146) was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders on June 23, 2026, advancing the bill toward a potential floor vote.

Abstract

(S1146 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-23): Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 445.

Why this matters

Public access to federal court proceedings affects due process transparency and the ability of affected communities to observe and understand judicial decisions that shape civil rights. Calendar placement of the Senate companion bill marks the furthest procedural progress for cameras-in-courtroom legislation in recent Congresses, though enactment remains uncertain given the historical pattern of similar bills stalling.
