Directing the Committee on Ethics to preserve and publicly release records of the Committee's review of violations or alleged violations of clause 9 (as it pertains to acts of sexual harassment) and clause 18 of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives.
H.Res. 1072 directs the House Committee on Ethics to publicly release records of its investigations into sexual harassment complaints involving members of Congress. The resolution requires the Committee to preserve all documents and investigative materials related to sexual harassment violations and to make public all reports, conclusions, and recommendations within 60 days of the resolution's adoption—with victims' names and personally identifiable information redacted to protect their privacy. The bill applies to violations by House Members, Delegates, and Resident Commissioners under existing House rules prohibiting sexual harassment and unwelcome sexual advances. This measure aims to increase transparency and accountability regarding sexual harassment investigations in Congress. The resolution does not establish any new funding requirements and simply mandates disclosure of existing Committee records.
