COLUMBUS, Ohio — Congressman Greg Landsman, D-OH, and Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-IL, introduced a bill to prevent federal government employees from adhering to non-disclosure agreements that violate whistleblower protections.
The No Disrupting Accountability Act would prevent federal funding from being used to require government-wide NDAs that violate whistleblower protections, which allow employees to disclose waste, fraud, abuse and corruption in the government.
“Government employees should never be silenced from exposing waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption – and federal funds should never be used to allow it. Our bill will make sure taxpayer dollars protect the public interest,” Landsman said in a press release.
The Trump administration announced its plan to allow federal agencies to require all government employees to sign NDAs, regardless of whether they handle classified information.
In June, Landsman and Krishnamoorthi led a letter in response, demanding answers around the proposal from the Office of Personnel Management.
