Current law entitles a judge who receives a sanction issued by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct to a review of the commission's decision by a special court of review. Senate Bill 1436 amends the Government Code to extend this entitlement to a judge who receives a censure issued by the commission and to provide that the review by the court of a censure is a review of the record of the proceedings that resulted in the censure and is based on the law and facts that were presented in the proceedings and any additional evidence that the court in its discretion may, for good cause, permit.
