Introduction of the National Commission to Combat Workplace Sexual Harassment Act
Printed in the Congressional Record of Jun 8, 2026.
Text in the Record
Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, today, I introduce the National Commission to Combat Workplace Sexual Harassment Act, which would establish a national commission to combat sexual harassment in the workplace. This bill is modeled on bills Congress has passed to establish commissions to address other national problems. Specifically, this bill would establish a commission to carry out a comprehensive investigation and study of sexual harassment in the workplace, including recommending changes in laws and best practices to prevent, investigate, respond to and penalize sexual harassment. Our constituents expect Congress to address the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace. The commission would hear from a cross section of workers--from office and factory workers to retail and food service workers. A national commission could help reduce sexual harassment in the workplace. I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
