A resolution designating July 30, 2023, as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day".

SRES 298 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating July 30, 2023, as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day." It commemorates the historical date of July 30, 1778, when the Continental Congress passed early whistleblower protections. The resolution asks all federal agencies to recognize the day by informing employees, contractors, and the public about their legal right to report misconduct, fraud, or crimes through proper channels. It does not create new legal protections or funding but encourages agencies to acknowledge whistleblowers' role in saving taxpayer dollars and promoting ethical government. This is a procedural resolution focused on awareness, not policy change.
