The House passed a bill that prohibits the use of nondisclosure or other confidentiality agreements to silence allegations of sexual misconduct within the workplace, marking a rare moment of bipartisanship during the final weeks of the 117th Congress.

The House passed the Speak Out Act with a 315-109 vote on Wednesday, clearing the final hurdle before the legislation heads to President Joe Biden’s desk for his approval. The bill previously passed the Senate in September with a unanimous vote.
