AI-generated summary, report an errorThis resolution would change the House Rules so that Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner may not have a sexual relationship with any House employee. The ban would not apply to people who are married to each other. The Committee on Ethics could grant an exemption for an employee who does not work under the Member's supervision and does not work for a committee the Member serves on. Within 60 days, the Committee on Ethics would have to issue rules for confidential exemption requests, including disclosure of the relationship and standards for judging conflicts of interest.
