Expressing support for the designation of July 30, 2024, as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day".

This resolution (HRES 1398) is a symbolic House measure designating July 30, 2024, as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day." It urges federal agencies to recognize the day by informing employees and the public about their legal right to report misconduct, fraud, or crimes through proper channels, and to acknowledge whistleblowers' contributions in combating waste and protecting public interests. The resolution references historical support for whistleblowers dating to 1778 but does not create new legal requirements or alter existing whistleblower protections. It directly affects federal agencies through recommended awareness efforts, not through binding policy changes.
