The Select Committee on Legislative Ethics voted unanimously Friday to direct staff to send a letter to the HR manager and Legislative Counsel seeking relief from conducting sexual harassment and civility training, arguing the assignment falls outside its statutory authority and crowds out substantive ethics instruction.
