Requiring each Member, officer, and employee of the House of Representatives to complete a program of training in workplace rights and responsibilities each session of each Congress, and for other purposes.

Key Points

• This policy requires everyone who works in the House of Representatives to take training on workplace rights and responsibilities. This includes elected members, their staff, and even unpaid interns or fellows. The training must be completed during every session of Congress.
• The training focuses on important topics like preventing discrimination and stopping harassment in the workplace. It is based on the Congressional Accountability Act, which is a law that makes sure Congress follows the same workplace safety and fairness rules as private businesses.
• Most people will have 90 days to finish the training once the program starts or 90 days after they are hired. The Committee on House Administration will set the specific rules and can give interns or short-term workers different deadlines if needed.
• If a new member already took this training during their orientation before starting their job, they do not have to take it again during their first session. This avoids making people repeat the same lessons twice in a short period.
