Legislature: sexual harassment records and tracking.

The Legislative Open Records Act authorizes any person to inspect legislative records, as defined, subject to specified exemptions. This bill would make available under the act complaint, investigation, and settlement records created on or after January 1, 1989, that reasonably relate to allegations of conduct by a Member or employee of the Legislature that violates the sexual harassment policy of the house of the Legislature in which the Member serves or the employee is employed. The bill would require that personally identifying information of victims and witnesses be redacted from the records. The bill would require each house of the Legislature to implement a system to separately identify and track allegations of violations of the sexual harassment policy of the house.
