B 26-0017 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Sexual Harassment Investigation Integrity Amendment Act of 2025

The Sexual Harassment Investigation Integrity Amendment Act of 2025 requires that sexual harassment complaints against specific high-level District government employees - such as mayoral appointees, agency directors, and staff who report directly to the Mayor - be investigated by the Inspector General, not the involved agency. The Inspector General must hire independent legal experts with sexual harassment expertise to conduct prompt investigations and issue reports. These investigations must also assess whether government resources were misused and whether workplace culture or management practices contributed to the harassment. The bill applies directly to District government employees in these designated roles and aims to ensure impartial handling of complaints.
