HRES 1301 United States House · 117th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of July 30, 2022, as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day".

This resolution symbolically designates July 30, 2022, as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day" to honor whistleblowers who report government misconduct. It urges federal agencies to recognize the day by informing employees, contractors, and the public about their legal right to report fraud, waste, or misconduct, and to acknowledge whistleblowers' contributions to saving taxpayer funds and upholding ethical standards. The resolution does not create new legal rights but encourages existing agency practices aligned with historical whistleblower protections dating to 1778.
