What it would do
- The House Ethics Committee and Office of Congressional Workplace Rights must publish payment information within 60 days of adoption.
- Disclosures would cover matters those offices reviewed, investigated, or handled.
- One list would name House lawmakers whose sexual harassment or abuse cases resulted in taxpayer-funded payments.
- It would show total payments for each lawmaker and combined payments for lawmakers' cases unrelated to sexual misconduct.
- House employee payment totals would be reported separately for cases involving sexual misconduct and cases without it.
- Cases with any sexual misconduct would count as sexual misconduct cases, even when settled under another claim.
