Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This resolution directs the House to require every Member, officer, and employee to complete training on workplace rights and responsibilities during each session of Congress. It directs the Committee on House Administration to issue regulations within 30 days to set up the training program, deadlines, and rules, and treats interns, fellows, and detailees as employees for this purpose. Participants must file certificates of completion and the committee may set alternative deadlines for short-term staff or those who join late, with an exception for training done during new Member orientation. The committee must also consider additional ways to ensure compliance, and the requirement applies to internal House operations only.
This is a simple resolution acted on by the House alone and is not law that applies outside the House; it does not go to the President for signature. It changes internal House rules and directs a House committee to create and enforce the training program.
This House resolution directs the Committee on House Administration to issue regulations requiring every Member, officer, and employee of the House to complete, each session of Congress, a training program on workplace rights and responsibilities under part A of the Congressional Accountability Act, including anti-discrimination and anti-harassment training.
It treats interns, fellows, and detailees as employees for this purpose, sets 90-day completion and certification deadlines (with limited exceptions and alternative deadlines), and asks the Committee to consider additional compliance mechanisms.
Resolution is an internal House rule likely to be adopted internally but is not legislation requiring Senate or Presidential action, so it will not become law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is a clear administrative directive that establishes a mandatory training requirement and delegates implementation to the Committee on House Administration with basic timing and coverage rules, but it omits funding, detailed enforcement, and robust accountability mechanisms.

Likely supportive as a commonsense, low-cost administrative measure to reduce workplace misconduct and legal risk.

May be cautiously supportive of anti-harassment training but concerned about additional bureaucracy and potential politicized training content.
Some conservatives will accept it as internal House governance.
