H.R. 4646

Whistleblower Protection Act of 2025

Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Financial Services Committee · Rep. Monica De La Cruz (R-TX)

15 September 2026 | Passed House with amendment (424-0)

What's next: To the Senate (if and when it takes it up)

Summary: The bill would expand whistleblower protections for employees working on Housing and Urban Development contracts and grants to cover all such work, including contracts signed before current protections took effect in 2013. Currently, federal contractors and grant recipients can only report misconduct involving federal funds without fear of retaliation if their contracts were signed after 2013, but this bill would extend those same protections backward to older HUD agreements.
