Senator Grassley joins bipartisan legislation to enhance whistleblower protections for federal contractors and close existing legal loopholes.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has announced his co-sponsorship of the bipartisan 'Expanding Whistleblower Protections for Contractors Act,' aimed at enhancing protections for whistleblowers among federal contractors and grantees. Grassley stated, "Whistleblowers... should not face retaliation for sounding the alarm on waste, fraud, and abuse."
The legislation seeks to close existing loopholes that currently leave whistleblowers vulnerable to reprisals. Ranking Member Gary Peters (D-Mich.) emphasized the need for strong protections, ensuring contractor employees can report wrongdoing without fear of retaliation.
The bill has garnered support from the Make It Safe Coalition, with members praising Grassley's long history of advocacy for whistleblowers. Grassley highlights his past initiatives, including the 1986 updates to the False Claims Act, which have helped recover substantial taxpayer dollars.
