H.2. Mental Incapacity

If a judge or justice is suspected of having a cognitive or mental condition that renders them unable to carry out their duties, a private affidavit may be submitted to the Federal Licensing Authority (FLA). The affidavit shall remain confidential.

Upon receipt, the FLA shall initiate two independent medical evaluations. If both evaluations confirm that the judge suffers from cognitive or mental decline that materially impairs their ability to perform, the judge shall be removed from office. The official record of removal shall state the reason as “Medical.”

The FLA shall retain all related records for ten (10) years before releasing them to the public.
