COALITION WANTS STATE HOUSE TO EXPAND COVERAGE OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICIES  

A coalition of nearly 80 groups is calling on the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to strengthen its sexual harassment policies.  They want lawmakers to protect anyone who experiences harassment from a House member while they are engaging in official duties or while in a House-owned or House-leased facility.  Currently, sexual harassment complaints are limited to House employees.  The group also wants the House to consider the policy when it votes on internal operating rules as soon as possible after lawmakers reconvene.
