Paul Revere Freedom to Warn Act

The Paul Revere Freedom to Warn Act (H.R. 4925) is designed to strengthen legal protections for whistleblowers who report activities that threaten public safety or national security. The bill would make it illegal for employers to retaliate against workers who provide information regarding law violations, fraud, mismanagement of public funds, or specific threats to public health and homeland security.

For everyday citizens, this bill aims to ensure that employees can report dangerous or illegal behavior to law enforcement or Congress without fear of losing their jobs or facing workplace discrimination. If an employee is punished for whistleblowing, the bill provides a legal pathway for them to seek reinstatement, back pay, and other damages, while also establishing criminal penalties for employers who violate these protections.
