After the accusations of mistreatment, Republican Rep. Jesse Young has been restricted at least for a year, from dealing with his legislative assistants, and will not be eligible for district office for next year.
A letter was sent in Dec. 13, from a House attorney, Young was notified that, the chamber was taking actions to address a "pattern of hostile and intimidating behavior."
The letter from House Counsel Alison Hellberg reads, "the allegations are both credible and serious." The Associated Press, obtained the letter this week,says that Young will have no supervisory role over his replacement legislative assistant and will have "very limited direct contact."
Young, will also not be eligible for a district office for the next year, because "many of the issues complained of took place in the district office."
The letter says, "the remote nature of a district office is incompatible with the corrective measures that need to be undertaken."
The Email and phone messages left on Monday, with Young were not immediately returned.
The letter, does not name the affected staffers or list the specific behavior of Young, for which he is accused of. The House administrators say that, they will consider removing the restrictions, if Young completes the anger management program, a respectful workplace training and management training program.

His legislative assistant will complete the normal job functions, like scheduling or communicating with constituents, and instead of reporting to Young, they will report directly to House Republican Caucus management.
In 2014, to fill a vacant seat, Young, was appointed to the House, he represents the 26th District, and then he was elected to a full two-year term later that year.
The letter notes that, during the course of the investigation of mistreatment of staff, ethical concerns were also raised and "those are still under review."
