Lawmakers overwhelmingly approved a proposal to disclose the names of House members who paid sexual misconduct settlements using taxpayer funds.

The bill was proposed by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and saw 420 members voting yes, with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., voting present.

"I would urge my colleagues to vote for this in the interest of transparency and openness," Massie said before the vote.

The resolution was passed following the recent resignations of Reps. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, and Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., amid accusations of sexual misconduct.

A 2018 law requires that members of Congress pay their own settlements for sexual misconduct. It also requires the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights to publish an annual report disclosing the misconduct payments.

The bill requires the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights and the House Ethics Committee to release a list of members who paid settlements, along with aggregate totals for misconduct by House employees, Roll Call reported.

Mace said she voted present, saying the bill was no different from work she had done to increase transparency about sexual misconduct.

"I already did this," Mace told CNN. "I subpoenaed the files in oversight in March and released them in May. It's already been done."

Massie told CNN before the vote that he wanted to clarify if there are more records that could be turned over from the OCWR and House Ethics Committee.

"I just feel like there's something missing," Massie said. "If somebody thinks what I'm doing is redundant, then it's an easy yes vote."

In April, the House Ethics Committee released a total of all publicly disclosed matters it has investigated involving alleged sexual misconduct by members, listing 28 instances in total and 15 instances since 2017, The Hill reported.
