Bill overview
This bill, the Swalwell Act, aims to prevent the use of taxpayer funds to settle workplace misconduct claims involving members of Congress and their staff. It requires personal financial accountability for those found liable, mandates transparency through a public database of settlements, and requires referrals of criminal allegations to the Department of Justice. The bill also includes a provision to retroactively disclose past settlements involving public funds since 1995, while protecting the privacy of victims.
