HRES 1465 United States House · 119th Congress

Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to prohibit a Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner from engaging in a sexual relationship with any employee of the House.

This resolution proposes to change House rules to ban Members, Delegates, and Resident Commissioners from having sexual relationships with any employee of the House. The key provision removes the current exception that allowed such relationships if the employee did not work directly under the Member's supervision or on a committee they served on. By striking this specific language, the bill would make any sexual relationship with a House employee automatically prohibited, regardless of the employee's specific role or reporting line. This change directly affects all elected representatives and the staff who work within the House of Representatives.
