Notwithstanding section 724(c) of House Resolution 724, One Hundred Fifteenth Congress, if a covered employee of the House of Representatives under the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 files a civil action with respect to an alleged violation of such Act, as provided in section 408 of such Act, the Office of Employee Advocacy may provide assistance to the employee with respect to investigations or proceedings under such Act in connection with such alleged violation at any time, including after the employee files such action.
This section is enacted by Congress— as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the House of Representatives, and as such it is deemed a part of the rules of the House of Representatives, and it supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is inconsistent with such rules; and with full recognition of the constitutional right of the House of Representatives to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedure of the House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of the House.
