Key Points

  • This proposal would require the House Committee on Ethics to save all documents and evidence from investigations into sexual harassment or unwanted sexual advances by members of Congress.
  • If passed, the Committee would have 60 days to release these reports to the public, including their final conclusions, draft reports, and any evidence they collected during the process.
  • The resolution includes a rule to protect the privacy of victims. Any personal information that could identify a victim or alleged victim must be removed from the documents before they are shared with the public.
  • The plan aims to make the House of Representatives more transparent. It ensures that records of misconduct by elected officials are not kept secret, helping the public hold their representatives accountable for their behavior.
