Introduced by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-California), the\u00a0ME TOO Congress Act\u00a0also makes Members of Congress personally liable for any settlement payments arising from harassment claims and requires Members and their staff to take annual anti-harassment training.\nTo make this a truly bipartisan effort, Ms. Speier asked that co-sponsors come on board as a pair, one Democrat, one Republican \u2013 the Noah\u2019s Ark system.
