Federal Employee Protection of Disclosures Act

H.R. 3097, the Federal Employee Protection of Disclosures Act, aims to strengthen protections for federal whistleblowers who report evidence of government waste, fraud, or mismanagement. The bill clarifies that a disclosure is protected regardless of the employee's motive, the timing of the report, or whether the information had been previously disclosed. Additionally, it requires a formal study into whether security clearances have been revoked as a form of retaliation against employees who have filed whistleblower claims.
