Directing the Committee on Ethics to preserve and publicly release records of the Committee's review of violations or alleged violations of clause 9 (as it pertains to acts of sexual harassment) and clause 18 of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives.

H.Res. 1072 is a non-binding resolution that would instruct the House Committee on Ethics to preserve and make public its records concerning investigations into violations or alleged violations of House rules related to sexual harassment. Specifically, it focuses on clause 9 (as it pertains to sexual harassment) and clause 18 of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives.

As a non-binding resolution, this measure would not have the force of law if passed. Instead, it would serve as a directive expressing the will of the House regarding transparency in ethics proceedings. The resolution was introduced in February 2026 and is currently under committee consideration. If enacted, the practical effect would be to increase public access to ethics records related to sexual harassment cases, potentially allowing citizens and the media to review how the Committee has handled such allegations.
