National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Sexual Harassment and Assault Prevention Improvements Act of 2025
14 September 2026 | Passed House with amendment (voice vote)
What's next: To the Senate (if and when it takes it up)
Summary: The bill would strengthen protections against sexual harassment and assault involving NOAA personnel by expanding which workers are covered by prevention policies, removing the requirement that certain offenses be forcible to be unlawful, and establishing a confidential reporting system. It would also require NOAA to report names of personnel involved in harassment or assault claims to the Coast Guard, prohibit people convicted of certain sexual offenses from working at NOAA, and expand reporting requirements on these incidents.
