Eliminate the taxpayer-funded congressional settlement fund for workplace complaints and create a public database of past congressional settlements.

This is why I have cosponsored the Stopping Wasteful Allowances for Lawmakers Wrongdoing and Ensuring Legal Liability (SWALWELL) Act by Representative Paul Gosar (AZ-09). The SWALWELL Act eliminates this fund – ensuring that Members of Congress are accountable for their actions – and increases transparency by creating a public database for constituents to search prior settlements dating back to 1995.

Tiffany committed to eliminating the congressional settlement fund and increasing transparency through a searchable public database of settlements.

"Status: Passed" "Tiffany | Republican | WI | Yea"

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The House passed H.Res. 1399, and Tiffany voted yes. This is later-term support for public release of congressional sexual-harassment settlement records, but it does not itself eliminate the broader settlement fund.

"The disclosure from OCWR, dated Aug. 31 but made publicly available on Thursday, cites seven lawmakers by name"

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Reporting on the official OCWR release indicates that a public disclosure of past House sexual-harassment payout records occurred after H.Res. 1399. The delivery is partial because the disclosure was limited to House sexual-harassment payouts and not a complete public database of all congressional workplace settlements.
