On Thursday, October 12, House Republicans passed the Dr. Chris Kirkpatrick Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017, which provides additional protections to federal employees who are retaliated against for disclosing waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. Specifically, the legislation increases protections for federal employees, increases awareness of federal whistleblower protections, and increases accountability for supervisors who retaliate against whistleblowers.
