In accordance with House rule XI, clauses 3(a)(2) and 3(b),
the Committee on Ethics (Committee) hereby submits the
following Report to the House of Representatives:
I. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
On September 13, 2017, the Committee convened for the
purpose of considering the August 15, 2017, arrest of
Representative Luis V. Gutierrez, for Incommoding or Unlawful
Assembly, during a protest outside the White House in
Washington, D.C. Representative Gutierrez paid a $50 fine and
was released following his arrest. The legal proceedings
related to Representative Gutierrez's arrest are now resolved.
The Committee voted against impanelling an investigative
subcommittee in this matter. The Committee considered the scope
and nature of the conduct described above and determined that
review by an investigative subcommittee is not required in this
matter.
The Committee has determined to take no further action in
this matter, and upon publication of this Report, considers the
matter closed.
II. STATEMENT UNDER HOUSE RULE XIII, CLAUSE 3(C)
The Committee made no special oversight findings in this
Report. No budget statement is submitted. No funding is
authorized by any measure in this Report.
