Clark County is moving to update and expand its sexual harassment policy for the first time in three years.
This comes days after county officials hired an outside law firm to investigate claims that public defender Phil Kohn acted inappropriately around female employees and refused to probe sexual harassment allegations against male attorneys.
County Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani told the Nevada Independent the proposed changes would be introduced at Tuesday’s commission meeting and go through a public hearing in two weeks.
Among several updates, the new policy would more clearly lay out what the punishments are for violating the policy.
The changes would also require all newly hired county employees to undergo harassment-related training within 30 days of being hired.
