H.Res. 1164
This resolution requires House members and former members who must repay the Treasury for settlements or awards related to workplace misconduct claims to publicly disclose the reasons for their reimbursement. Specifically, members who owe money under the Congressional Accountability Act must appear in person before the House Clerk for a public reading that includes their name, the payment amount, reimbursement status, and details about the underlying claim. Members have 14 days' notice before this public reading occurs and must comply within 30 days of receiving notice. Members who fail to comply within this timeframe lose their committee assignments and leadership positions until they appear for the public reading, while former members lose their privilege to enter House chambers until they repay the full amount and complete the public disclosure. The resolution is designed to enforce transparency and accountability regarding members who have engaged in workplace misconduct violations, particularly sexual harassment under House rules.
