WASHINGTON _ The Senate is expected to break a lengthy impasse that's blocked efforts to dramatically revamp its rules on sexual harassment.
Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said he and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., plan to propose legislation to update a 1995 law governing how members of Congress and their staffs report harassment on Capitol Hill.
In addition to changing the liability members face, the plan could eliminate the lengthy counseling, arbitration and "cooling off" periods in the existing law.
