Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill expands whistleblower protections for contractors and employees of federal contractors, including those working for the Department of Defense and NASA. It broadens the definition of protected individuals to include contractors, subcontractors, grantees, and their employees, and protects them from retaliation for refusing unlawful orders or disclosing evidence of gross mismanagement, waste, abuse of authority, or violations of law. The bill also prohibits executive branch officials from requesting contractors to engage in retaliatory actions and prevents these protections from being waived through arbitration agreements or employment contracts.
