Countering Threats and Attacks on Our Judges Act

This section amends the State Justice Institute Act of 1984 to define what constitutes an 'eligible organization.' Such an organization must be a national nonprofit with specific expertise in judicial security, courthouse design, State judicial operations, and experience working with diverse State and local court systems, including rural and limited-jurisdiction courts. This definition ensures that only qualified entities can receive funding to establish the new threat intelligence center.

This section amends the State Justice Institute Act to authorize the State Justice Institute (SJI) to provide financial and technical support to eligible organizations for establishing and operating a State judicial threat intelligence and resource center. The center's functions include providing judicial security training, monitoring threats, coordinating with law enforcement, developing standardized incident reporting, creating a national threat database, and conducting research on best practices for judicial security.

This section requires the State Justice Institute to submit an annual report to the Senate and House Judiciary Committees. The report, due one year after the establishment of the threat intelligence center, must detail the number of threats to State and local judiciary members and court staff, including breakdowns by threat type and seriousness level.
