To create a national commission to combat workplace sexual harassment, and for other purposes.

On June 8, 2026, Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) introduced HR9198 in the House, which proposes to establish a national commission to combat workplace sexual harassment. The bill was immediately referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce, where it remains in early-stage consideration. As a commission-establishing bill, it does not authorize or appropriate any specific funding, nor does it impose mandates, incentives, or penalties on any private sector entity. The legislative path is lengthy: it must pass committee, the full House, the Senate, and be signed into law before any commission could be formed and begin its work. Without any direct economic mechanism—no tax changes, procurement requirements, regulatory standards, or funding allocations—the bill has no measurable impact on corporate revenues, costs, or competitive positioning. No publicly traded companies are directly affected. The bill's sponsor is a junior member of the House, and there is no companion legislation in the Senate, indicating low momentum. Given the procedural nature and absence of any financial or regulatory lever, the market impact is negligible.
