Directing the Office of Congressional Conduct to establish standards of conduct related to mental capacity of members of the House of Representatives.

This resolution directs the Office of Congressional Conduct to create, within 180 days, a standard for when a House Member cannot behave in a way that reflects creditably on the House because of a significant and irreversible cognitive impairment. The Office would send a report on this standard to the House Committee on Ethics and may consult other congressional offices and outside experts. Within 90 days of getting the report, the Ethics Committee would issue its own standard or the one in the report. The Ethics Committee would also publish guidance for House employees on how to safely and confidentially report concerns about Members' mental capacity.
