National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Sexual Harassment and Assault Prevention Improvements Act of 2025
20 August 2026 | Reported by committee (Natural Resources, H. Rept. 119-761)
What's next: Floor scheduling (leadership decides if and when it gets a vote)
Summary: The bill would expand NOAA's sexual harassment and assault prevention policies to cover more personnel, remove the requirement that certain harmful acts be forcible to be unlawful, and establish new reporting mechanisms to the Coast Guard. It would also prohibit convicted sex offenders from joining NOAA, create a confidential reporting system for victims, and strengthen overall reporting requirements on harassment and assault incidents.
