A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution directs the House Committee on Ethics to take specific actions regarding sexual harassment and unwelcome sexual advances. It requires the committee to preserve all documents and investigative materials related to violations of clause 9 and clause 18 of rule XXIII. Additionally, the resolution mandates the public release of these records. This release must include reports, conclusions, draft reports, and exhibits. The directive applies to investigations involving Members, Delegates, or Resident Commissioners. All personally identifiable information of victims or alleged victims must be redacted before release.
