National Commission to Combat Workplace Sexual Harassment Act

The National Commission to Combat Workplace Sexual Harassment Act establishes a temporary commission to investigate and study workplace sexual harassment, sexual assault, and other misconduct across various industries. This independent body will gather testimony from workers, experts, and advocates to analyze causes, reporting mechanisms, and the effectiveness of current laws, with a specific focus on how factors like race, gender identity, and gig economy work affect vulnerability. Composed of eleven appointed members who serve without pay, the commission is required to submit a comprehensive report with recommendations to the President and Congress within 18 months and hold a public hearing on those findings. The commission will have access to federal resources and staff support but will cease to exist 60 days after submitting its final report.
