                                _______
                                

               Mr. Deutch, from the Committee on Ethics, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

    In accordance with Rule 18(e)(2) of the Committee on Ethics 
(Committee), the Committee hereby submits the following Report 
to the House of Representatives:

                      I. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

    On May 11, 2022, the Committee convened for the purpose of 
considering misdemeanor charges filed against Representative 
Madison Cawthorn, for driving with a revoked license and 
speeding in North Carolina. Representative Cawthorn informed 
the Committee he has paid a fine to resolve one of the charges 
and intends to pay any fines associated with the remaining 
charges.
    The Committee voted against impanelling an investigative 
subcommittee in this matter. The Committee considered the scope 
and nature of the conduct described above and determined that 
review by an investigative subcommittee is not required in this 
matter. The Committee believes that the handling of this matter 
by local authorities is sufficient given the facts of the 
matter.
    The Committee has determined to take no further action in 
this matter, and upon publication of this Report, considers the 
matter closed.

            II. STATEMENT UNDER HOUSE RULE XIII, CLAUSE 3(C)

    The Committee made no special oversight findings in this 
Report. No budget statement is submitted. No funding is 
authorized by any measure in this Report.

                                  [all]
