Bill overview
This bill, the Whistleblower Act of 2019, expands whistleblower protection to include not only federal employees but also subcontractors and subgrantees who report waste, fraud, or abuse related to federal programs. It amends existing law to specifically broaden the definition of ‘protected individuals’ to encompass these groups. The changes clarify that individuals working through subcontractors or subgrantees are also covered under the whistleblower protections outlined in the law. This aims to encourage reporting of wrongdoing within the federal government’s contracting and grant systems.
