                                  _____
                                 

                       HON. ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON

                      of the district of columbia

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 8, 2026

  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.
