National Commission to Combat Workplace Sexual Harassment Act

Key Points

• This bill creates a group called the National Commission to Combat Workplace Sexual Harassment. This group would spend 18 months studying how often harassment happens at work and why current laws might not be stopping it.
• The group will have 11 members. Leaders from both parties in Congress will choose eight of them, and the White House will choose the other three. At least six of the members must be women to make sure different points of view are included.
• The group would talk to workers and bosses from many industries, like tech, farming, and fast food. They will look at how things like race, age, and temporary or app-based jobs make some people more likely to face harassment.
• The commission will look at how social media and new ways of working have changed the problem. They want to find better ways for people to report abuse and hold companies responsible for keeping workers safe.
• Within a year and a half, the group must give a full report to Congress and the White House. This report will include specific ideas for new laws. While this bill does not change laws immediately, it aims to create a plan for future safety rules.
