MI HR0412

Urges the U.S. Senate to develop fair, deliberative, and neutral protocols for addressing and investigating sexual assault and harassment claims against presidential nominees requiring Senate confirmation

States that sexual assault and harassment allegations are serious considerations relevant to evaluating a nominee's integrity and fitness for high office

Critiques the current confirmation process for handling such claims, citing sensational hearings, rushed investigations, and accusations of political partisanship that fail to treat accusers and nominees with appropriate dignity

Calls for clear Senate procedures that encourage victims to come forward with assurances of fair and equitable treatment to restore public confidence in appointees and demonstrate national intolerance for sexual assault and harassment

Directs copies of the resolution to be sent to the President of the U.S. Senate and Michigan's U.S. Senators
