Expanding Whistleblower Protections for Contractors Act of 2026

Summary

The bill changes existing whistleblower laws to cover contractors, subcontractors, grantees and subgrantees that work for the Department of Defense and NASA, as well as other federal contractors. It bars retaliation for refusing illegal orders or reporting serious waste, mismanagement, abuse, or a danger to public health or safety, and makes those protections non‑waivable. It also allows disciplinary action against officials who try to force a reprisal.
