AI Summary
This bill, the Me Too Congressional Ethics Act, amends the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 to require the automatic referral of any allegation that an employing office of the House of Representatives or Senate violated part A of title II of the Act to the congressional ethics committees. The bill provides the ethics committees with access to records and information related to the allegation, while also allowing the covered employee to waive the referral. The bill also mandates that the ethics committees promptly initiate an investigation into any referred allegation and take appropriate actions, while protecting the identity of the individual who made the allegation in any resulting report.
