This bill establishes an independent Federal Public Defender Commission within the Judicial Branch to oversee and provide criminal defense services to financially eligible persons in federal court. The Commission would replace the current system with a centralized structure governed by an Executive Board and advised by Advisory and Circuit Boards, with authority to appoint counsel, manage public defender offices, set compensation standards, and provide investigative and expert services. The bill expands the categories of cases requiring appointed counsel and mandates that the Commission advise Congress and the judiciary on the effects of criminal justice policies.
