Bill Analysis
H.Res. 1100 is a House resolution directing the House Committee on Ethics to preserve and publicly release certain records related to sexual harassment and other specified misconduct by Members, Delegates, the Resident Commissioner, officers, and employees of the House.
Substantive scope
- Targets records from the Committee’s review of:
- Violations or alleged violations of clause 9 of rule XXIII (House Code of Official Conduct) as it pertains to acts of sexual harassment; and
- Violations or alleged violations of clause 18 of rule XXIII (which generally concerns nondisclosure agreements or other provisions that impede reporting of harassment or discrimination, and related retaliation or interference).
- Applies to both completed and ongoing matters within the Committee’s jurisdiction, subject to the resolution’s terms.
Records and transparency requirements
- Directs the Committee on Ethics to:
- Preserve all relevant records (e.g., complaints, investigative files, reports, correspondence, and related materials) concerning such violations or alleged violations.
- Publicly release those records, likely via official House channels, in a manner and on a schedule specified by the resolution (e.g., after case closure, with redactions as required by law or House rules).
- May require the Committee to establish procedures for redacting personally identifiable information of victims, witnesses, or other protected data, consistent with privacy laws and House rules.
Agencies and authorities affected
- Primary entity: House Committee on Ethics (no new agency created).
- Operates under existing House rulemaking authority; as a simple resolution, it governs internal House procedures and does not create statutory law or require Senate/Presidential action.
Beneficiaries and regulated parties
- Increases transparency and accountability for Members and staff accused or found responsible for sexual harassment or related misconduct.
- Benefits complainants, staff, and the public by making Ethics Committee handling of such matters more visible and historically preserved.
Funding and timelines
- No explicit new funding; implementation relies on existing House and Committee resources.
- Timelines for preservation and release, including any retroactive coverage, are set by the resolution’s operative clauses (e.g., immediate effect upon adoption, with specified deadlines for release).
