This bill establishes a National Commission to Combat Workplace Sexual Harassment tasked with conducting a comprehensive investigation into workplace sexual harassment, sexual assault, and related misconduct across industries including hospitality, agriculture, technology, entertainment, and law enforcement. The 11-member commission, which must include at least six women and members knowledgeable about workplace harassment, will hold hearings with workers, employers, experts, and advocates to assess the causes and effects of harassment, evaluate vulnerable populations, review existing laws and policies, and examine reporting mechanisms in both the public and private sectors. The commission must submit a detailed report with findings and recommendations to Congress and the President within 18 months of the bill's enactment, followed by a hearing on its conclusions. Commission members will serve without pay but receive travel expenses, and the commission will receive office space and administrative support from the federal government with funding to be provided through appropriations acts. The commission will automatically dissolve 60 days after submitting its final report to Congress.
