The resolution requires the Committee on Ethics and the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights to publicly release aggregate totals of taxpayer funds paid in settlements involving House employees, including those tied to sexual harassment or abuse. Unlike Members of Congress, individual employees are not named, but the disclosure increases institutional accountability around workplace misconduct settlements involving House staff.
“the aggregate total amount of taxpayer funds included in all settlements, payments, reimbursements, awards, or other financial considerations paid in connection with such reviews, investigations, or matters involving, in part or in full, sexual harassment, sexual abuse, or sexual misconduct by employees of the House of Representatives”
