Summary
The Swalwell Act prohibits the use of federal taxpayer funds to pay settlements or judgments for workplace misconduct claims involving Members of Congress or senior congressional staff, and instead requires such individuals to pay settlements personally. The bill establishes a publicly searchable database disclosing past and future settlements (while protecting victim privacy), mandates referral of criminal allegations to the Department of Justice, and imposes civil penalties of at least 200 percent of improperly paid amounts for violations. The bill also requires retroactive disclosure of all settlements paid with public funds since January 1, 1995.
