Whistleblower Anti-Gag Act of 2026

This bill, known as the Whistleblower Anti-Gag Act of 2026, aims to strengthen protections for federal employees who report wrongdoing by ensuring they are fully informed about their whistleblower rights. It modifies existing federal law to explicitly include nondisclosure policies, forms, or agreements in the scope of whistleblower protections under Title 5 of the United States Code. The change requires that any nondisclosure arrangements related to whistleblower activities comply with the same legal standards as other protected disclosures. This legislation directly affects federal workers and the agencies that employ them by clarifying how whistleblower rights interact with confidentiality agreements.
