The CREEPS Act requires federal agencies to remove employees convicted of sexual assault crimes and restricts pay raises, bonuses, and promotions for federal workers found to have committed sexual assault or sexual misconduct for five years following a final administrative or court determination. The bill applies the same restrictions to federal contractors and subcontractors, requiring them to include these policies in their employment practices as a condition of receiving federal contracts. The legislation defines sexual misconduct broadly to include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and offensive comments of a sexual nature that create a hostile work environment. There is no specific funding amount or implementation timeline provided beyond the requirement that contractor policies must be in place for all contracts entered into or modified after the bill's enactment. The bill was introduced in December 2023 and referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
