Enforcement of Rule 27


​The Legislative Equity Office enforces Legislative Branch Rule 27 which prohibits harassment, discrimination and retaliation relating to legislative activities. The rule is designed to provide options to those who are experiencing or observing harassing behavior, discriminatory behavior or other prohibited behavior to seek information, make reports or file complaints to address and resolve concerns. Individuals seeking support or help may reach out to the Legislative Equity Officer for a confidential discussion.
