Republican Women Unveil Bill Package to Address Sexual Harassment
In response to recent cases of sexual harassment at the Capitol, five female members of the House Republican Caucus today unveiled a legislative package to make significant reforms to protect taxpayers and victims.
In March, then-Rep. Mike Zabel resigned after it became public that over several years he sexually harassed a lobbyist, another legislator and his former campaign manager. More recently, the state paid out a $295,000 sexual harassment settlement to a woman who worked for Mike Vereb. At the time of the offense, Vereb was Gov. Josh Shapiro’s secretary of legislative affairs.
“While the House expanded the House Ethical Conduct Rules in 2019, before I was elected, to cover incidents of sexual harassment by members and officers of the House against House employees, recent incidents have shown we need to tighten our rules further to serve as a better deterrent against inappropriate behavior,” said Rep. Abby Major (R-Armstrong/Westmoreland). “In addition, the rule changes would give members and employees more redress if they are victimized. I am hopeful that my Democrat colleagues would join me in supporting these common-sense changes.”
