AI-generated summary, report an errorThis House resolution directs the House Committee on Ethics and the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights to publish certain records within 60 days of adoption. They must release a list naming each Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner who was reviewed or investigated for sexual harassment or sexual abuse where taxpayer funds were paid, along with the total amount paid for each person. They must also publish total amounts of taxpayer-funded settlements in other categories: Member cases not involving sexual misconduct, and House employee cases with and without sexual misconduct. A settlement counts as involving sexual misconduct if that was any part of the matter, even if it was classified under another claim.
