Public release of sexual harassment settlement records
Sponsored by Thomas Massie
What the bill does
This resolution requires the House Ethics Committee and the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights to release records of taxpayer money used to settle sexual harassment claims involving members of Congress and House employees. Within 60 days, they must publish a list naming each member who was investigated for sexual harassment and the total amount paid from taxpayer funds. They also must disclose the total taxpayer money spent on other types of settlements for members and employees.
The stakes
Taxpayers fund these settlements, but the details are often kept secret. This resolution would make the amounts and names public, letting citizens see how their money is used to resolve harassment claims.
