Lieu (D-CA), Susan Brooks (R-IN) and Diana DeGette (D-CO) announced the introduction of the bipartisanEmpoweringOlympic, Paralympic and Amateur Athletes Actto help protect athletes from sexual abuse. America's top-level athletes should be able to focus on the sport they love and not have to worry about being taken advantage of by bad actors,Curtis said.I am proud to be a Republican co-lead of theEmpoweringOlympicand Amateur Athletes Actto enhance safety for athletes by implementing needed reforms to the U.S.Olympicand Paralympic Committee. The bill, which is a companion to Senators Jerry Moran and Richard Blumenthal's legislation, will strengthen legal liability and accountability mechanisms for both the U.S.OlympicCommittee and the governing bodies of specific sports. Additionally, it will create clear procedures and reporting requirements for the U.S.Olympicand Paralympic Committee to ensure athletes are protected moving forward. The bill will also ensure that allegations of sexual abuse against athletes can be independently investigated without the interference of U.S.Olympicand Paralympic Committee or a national sports governing body. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
