Directing the Committee on Ethics to preserve and publicly release records relating to .monetary settlements involving acts of sexual harassment.
This resolution directs the House Committee on Ethics to create and publish a public list of all monetary settlements involving sexual harassment by Members, Delegates, or Resident Commissioners. The bill requires the committee to release specific details within 60 days, including the names of individuals involved and the total taxpayer funds paid in connection with those cases. Additionally, it mandates the release of aggregate financial totals for settlements involving House employees, distinguishing between cases that include sexual misconduct and those that do not. By making these records publicly available, the measure aims to increase transparency regarding how taxpayer money is used to resolve harassment claims within Congress.
