               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 July 20, 2022, the Committee convened for the purpose of 
considering the June 30, 2022, arrest of Representative Judy 
Chu, for Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding, during a 
protest outside the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. 
Representative Chu was released following her arrest. 
Representative Chu informed the Committee she intends to pay a 
$50 fine related to her arrest. The legal proceedings related 
to her arrest are expected to be resolved with no further 
action.
    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 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.
