Whistleblower Anti-Gag Act of 2026

The Whistleblower Anti-Gag Act of 2026 is designed to strengthen protections for federal employees by ensuring they are fully aware of their whistleblower rights . This legislation specifically amends title 5 of the United States Code, which governs federal personnel practices. The key provision modifies Section 2302(a)(2)(C)(i) to explicitly address nondisclosure policies, forms, or agreements . By inserting specific language, the bill clarifies that such agreements cannot be used to prevent federal employees from being informed of their statutory whistleblower protections. This amendment aims to prevent "gag orders" from inadvertently or intentionally suppressing the disclosure of waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government.
