SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) All employees of the House of Representatives, of the
Senate, and of the congressional instrumentalities are entitled
to fundamental rights and protections provided by law to
private and other public employees.
(2) The Congress has made notable progress in ensuring that
such rights and protections are afforded to these legislative
branch employees, by--
(A) extending to employees of the House of
Representatives the provisions of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,
the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, and the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938;
(B) extending to employees of the Senate the
provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Family and Medical
Leave Act of 1993; and
(C) extending to employees of congressional
instrumentalities numerous rights and protections under
employment laws.
(3) The Congress should expand on this base of rights and
protections by eliminating gaps in coverage and extending
coverage so as to assure to legislative branch employees the
rights and protections of laws on employment discrimination,
family and medical leave, fair labor standards, labor-
management relations, and occupational safety and health.
(4) The Congress should likewise establish prompt, fair,
and independent processes to resolve disputes and to enforce
employee rights and protections, building on and strengthening
the dispute resolution and enforcement procedures already
established by the Government Employees Rights Act of 1991 (2
U.S.C. 1201 et seq.), section 117 of the Civil Rights Act of
1991 (2 U.S.C. 60l), and other relevant enactments and rules of
Congress.
(5) The extension of employee rights and protections
affecting employees of the Architect of the Capitol and the
Capitol Police should be accomplished in a manner that ensures
that they are treated in a consistent manner regardless of
their place of assignment within the Congress.
(6) The extension of employee rights and protections should
be accomplished in a manner that is consistent with the
responsibilities and functions of the House of Representatives
and the Senate under the Constitution.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are to eliminate gaps in
coverage, extend coverage, and establish prompt, fair, and independent
dispute resolution and enforcement procedures, for rights and
protections established by--
(1) title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964;
(2) the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938;
(3) the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967;
(4) title I and title II of the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990;
(5) section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973;
(6) the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993;
(7) the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970; and
(8) chapter 71 of title 5, United States Code (commonly
known as the ``Federal Service Labor-Management Relations
Statute'').
