Summary

The bill changes the Congressional Accountability Act so that any member who is found personally responsible for an employment‑discrimination violation must reimburse the Treasury for any settlement or award. It also gives staff or other claimants a chance to file an amended complaint if a hearing officer says the original filing was incomplete or the claimant was not covered. The changes aim to increase accountability for members and improve the claim process for congressional employees.
