House votes unanimously to mandate sexual harassment training

Published November 29, 2017 8:21pm ET



The House voted unanimously on Wednesday to mandate sexual harassment training for members and staff, even as the Capitol was being rocked by sexual harassment allegations against several lawmakers.

The resolution, sponsored by Reps. Barbara Comstock, R-Va., and Jackie Speier, D-Calif., will require all House lawmakers, officers, staff, and interns to attend anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training sessions during every session of Congress. The Senate approved a similar harassment training measure on Nov. 9.
