What it does
The Congressional Accountability Act Enhancement Act would require Members of Congress to personally reimburse the Treasury for any settlement or award payments made under the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 in cases of employment discrimination they commit. It would also allow individuals who file claims under the Act to submit an amended claim if a hearing officer initially determines they are not a covered employee or have not stated a valid claim, and it would permit the Office of Employee Advocacy to assist covered employees in civil actions related to such claims, even after the action is filed. These changes apply to claims made on or after the bill’s enactment.
