Congressional Whistleblower Protection Act of 2024

This bill expands whistleblower protections for federal employees, contractors, and job applicants across all branches of government. It creates new administrative remedies for covered individuals harmed by retaliation, including specific pathways for FBI staff, intelligence community workers, and contractor employees. If agencies don't resolve complaints within 180 days, affected individuals can sue for double back pay, reinstatement, attorney fees, and other remedies in federal court. The law applies to all federal agencies, offices, and legislative/judicial entities, ensuring consistent protections for workers and contractors who report wrongdoing.
