AI Summary
This bill, the Congressional Workplace Misconduct Accountability Act, amends the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 to require public disclosure of awards and settlements related to alleged violations of workplace misconduct, and to mandate reimbursement of such payments by the responsible member of Congress. The bill establishes a process for withholding funds from the member's compensation and garnishing wages if the reimbursement is not made within the specified time period. The bill also requires coordination between the Office of Personnel Management and the Treasury Department to withhold funds from the member's future federal annuity or Social Security benefits if necessary to recoup the reimbursement amount.
