Whereas transparency is essential for accountability in government;
Whereas sexual harassment and unwelcome sexual advances by Members, Delegates, 
or Resident Commissioners, in violation of clause 9 and clause 18 of 
rule XXIII of the Rules of the House, affect the safety, dignity, and 
the integrity of the proceedings of the House of Representatives: Now, 
therefore, be it

investigation involving a violation of clause 9 of Rule 
XXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, as 
it pertains to acts of sexual harassment, or clause 18 
of Rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives, or any case involving sexual harassment 
or sexual abuse, if it resulted in a payment of taxpayer 
funds; and
(ii) adjacent to each such name, the total amount of

(B) the aggregate total amount of taxpayer funds included in

(2) That for purposes of this resolution, any such settlement, 
payment, reimbursement, award, or other financial consideration shall be 
treated as involving sexual harassment, sexual abuse, or sexual
