## Summary

**Public disclosure of Members' reimbursements for Congressional Accountability Act claims.** This bill would require the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights to produce a report with payment details and force affected Members to appear publicly while the Clerk reads their name, payment amount, and reimbursement status. - Members: Affected Members would have to appear in the House well while the Clerk reads their name, the payment amount, and whether they have repaid. The public reading must occur at least 14 days after the Clerk receives the report and at the earliest available date after the Member says they are available. - Former Members: Former Members would be denied entry to the Hall of the House and related rooms until they complete reimbursement. After repayment they must follow the same reporting steps to regain access and the Clerk must help restore privileges. - Reporting and access: The Office of Congressional Workplace Rights must give a report to the Committee on House Administration. The Committee must immediately transmit the report to the Clerk and provide copies to each affected Member and former Member and a list to the Sergeant-at-Arms. - Enforcement: A Member who gets the report and fails to comply within 30 days would be barred from committee activities and other duties until they comply as determined by the Speaker or party leaders. Continued noncompliance triggers notifications to leaders and may lead the Committee on Ethics to investigate or act.
