As sexual misconduct allegations pervade the nation’s capital, Rep. Chris Stewart has introduced a new bill to amend a 1995 law that keeps confidential any harassment complaints filed against members of Congress.

The Utah Republican’s Victims’ Voice and Transparency Act, unveiled Wednesday alongside co-sponsor Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., would prohibit nondisclosure agreements as a condition for a legal settlement. In opening the process for handling accusations on Capitol Hill, victims could choose whether to publicly name their alleged harassers.

“Victims of sexual misconduct deserve a voice,” Stewart said in a statement, “and the American people deserve the utmost level of transparency.”

He, too, condemned the “culture of silence” that has begun to change over the past two months, roiling Hollywood and Washington, steamrolling a handful of statehouses, and spreading elsewhere.
