Provides that it is a duty of every officer and employee under the Legislative Ethics Commission to cooperate with the Attorney General in any investigation undertaken under the Act. Provides that the rules governing the powers and investigations of the Legislative Inspector General shall be available on the Legislative Ethics Commission's website and any proposed changes to the rules must be made available to the public on the Commission's website no less than 7 days before the adoption of the changes.

Makes other changes. Amends the Secretary of State Act. Authorizes the Secretary of State Inspector General to file pleadings with the Executive Ethics Commission, through the Attorney General, if the Attorney General finds that reasonable cause exists to believe that a violation regarding acts of sexual harassment by a lobbyist occurred. Provides that failure to cooperate in an investigation initiated by the Secretary of State Inspector General, or a finding by the Inspector General of a violation regarding sexual harassment, shall give the Secretary of State discretion to temporarily suspend or terminate any registered lobbyist or lobbying entity for which that registered lobbyist is employed. Amends the Lobbyist Registration Act. Provides that failure to cooperate in an investigation initiated by the Secretary of State Inspector General is a separate and punishable offense for which the Secretary of State Inspector General, through the Attorney General, shall file pleadings with the Executive Ethics Commission. Amends the Human Rights Act. Provides that it is a civil rights violation for an employer to fail to post or keep posted a specified notice that includes the right to be free from sexual harassment under the Act. Extends the statute of limitations for filing complaints under the Act to within 300 calendar days (currently, 180 days) after the alleged violation. Makes other changes.
