114-hr-5790 114 hr 5790 Federal Bureau of Investigation Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2016 Crime and Law Enforcement 2016-07-14 2016-12-16 Became Public Law No: 114-302. House Rep. Chaffetz, Jason [R-UT-3] UT R C001076 12 Federal Bureau of Investigation Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2016 (Sec. 2) This bill revises a provision with respect to whistle-blower protections for a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employee or job applicant who discloses wrongdoing to an appropriate official. It prohibits an FBI employee from taking or failing to take a personnel action (e.g., demotion) with respect to an FBI employee or applicant because of a protected disclosure. A protected disclosure is a disclosure of information to an appropriate official which an employee or applicant reasonably believes evidences: (1) a violation of a law, rule, or regulation; or (2) waste, fraud, or abuse. Additionally, the bill expands the list of appropriate officials who may receive a protected disclosure to include, among others, a supervisor in an employee's direct chain of command. 2023-04-24T20:39:47Z
