Poliquin Unanimously | 2017-11-28 | 2017 | 2017-11 | Republican | House | ME | Bruce Poliquin | P000611 | poliquin.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON – Tomorrow, the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to consider a sexual harassment awareness and prevention measure introduced by Congressman Bruce Poliquin (R-ME-02), Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA-14), and a bipartisan group of lawmakers to require workplace sexual harassment awareness training for Members of Congress and their staffs. The new resolution expands upon a measure introduced by Poliquin and Speier earlier this month. “Employees should always feel safe and comfortable in their own workplace, and it’s past time Congress moves in that direction,” said Congressman Poliquin. “I’m proud and pleased to work across the aisle on this issue to bring about some important and long overdue changes to Capitol Hill.” Currently, it is optional for House Members and staff to take the sexual harassment awareness and prevention training. This resolution makes the training mandatory. Congressman Poliquin and his staff have all completed the training. The new resolution, expected to be voted on in the House tomorrow, makes minor adjustments to the original measure to also require House offices to physically post a statement of employees’ rights and protections in the workplace. It is being introduced today by Congressman Poliquin, Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (R-VA), Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA), Congressmen Gregg Harper (R-MS) and Robert Brady (D-PA). | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
