Independent Panels Take Over Sex Harassment Complaints at California Capitol

by Cristina Mendonsa June 19, 2018

After a raucous 2017 season of complaints and allegations of sex harassment at the California State Capitol, both houses of the legislature have endorsed a plan to allow independent panels to take over any investigations or assessments.

Investigators with training in issues of workplace harassment will review any misconduct claims and a separate panel of subject matter experts will be formed to make determinations and recommendations for cures to misconduct claims.

The panels were conceived by a bi-partisan legislative group that formed in January to address the harassment concerns and will investigate claims against lawmakers from other legislators, lobbyists, even the public.

A strong and formal workflow to handle claims of sex harassment was needed by the legislature and is needed by all organizations.
