Summary
The bill changes how long money the CFTC moves into its customer‑education and non‑award expense accounts can be used, giving more flexibility for those programs. It also adds stronger anti‑retaliation safeguards for whistleblowers and requires the CFTC to inform them of their rights. The goal is to improve education outreach and protect those who report violations.
