A resolution designating July 30, 2025, as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day".
SRES 340 designates July 30, 2025, as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day" to honor individuals who report government waste, fraud, or misconduct. The resolution directs federal agencies to inform employees, contractors, and the public about their legal right to report wrongdoing and to recognize whistleblowers' contributions to saving taxpayer funds and upholding ethical standards. It commemorates the first U.S. whistleblower law passed on July 30, 1778, by the Continental Congress. This is a symbolic recognition measure with no new legal requirements or funding.
