State lawmakers on Monday pressed the state auditor and the Commission on Judicial Performance to settle their legal fight over access to complaints against judges, saying the dispute is thwarting the Legislature’s oversight and budgeting duties.

Lawmakers in 2016 authorized the first-ever audit of the commission, which investigates claims of judicial misconduct. The review was supposed to cover dozens of items, from how the agency decides to investigate complaints to how its disciplinary process compares to those in other states.
