Directing the Committee on Ethics to preserve and release records of the Committee's review of the alleged misconduct of Matthew Louis Gaetz II of Florida while serving as a Member of the House of Representatives.
HRES 1603 directs the House Committee on Ethics to preserve all documents related to its investigation of former Representative Matt Gaetz (FL) and publicly release its final report on alleged misconduct. The bill requires the committee to share the report - including findings, recommendations, and proposed disciplinary actions - while anonymizing witness identities and redacting personal information of minors or victims. It specifically references the committee’s November 2024 discussion of allegations involving Gaetz’s conduct during his service (2017-2024), including claims of sexual misconduct, drug use, and misuse of campaign funds. The bill does not alter ethics rules but mandates transparency in the committee’s handling of this specific case.
