S 2500 United States Senate · 118th Congress

CFTC Whistleblower Fund Improvement Act of 2023

This bill increases the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) whistleblower fund from $100 million to $300 million and creates a separate account within the fund. The new account, capped at $10 million, specifically covers education initiatives and administrative costs for the CFTC's whistleblower program staff. It modifies the program's funding to be "until expended" instead of "until the fund is exhausted" and removes an outdated funding paragraph. The bill directly affects the CFTC's ability to manage its whistleblower program and support staff handling fraud reports in commodity markets.
