Federal Worker Protection Act aims to limit nondisclosure agreements that restrict whistleblowing by federal employees and contractors.

The Federal Worker Protection Act seeks to limit the use of nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) that restrict whistleblowing by federal employees and contractors. The bill mandates that any NDA imposed by an agency must include a plain-language rider notifying employees of their protected disclosure rights. It also requires that any NDA template be reviewed and certified by the Office of Special Counsel before use. The act establishes that any NDA provision restricting protected disclosures is void.
