Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, and in addition to the Committees on Intelligence (Permanent Select), and Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The UAP Whistleblower Protection Act would extend federal whistleblower protections to employees and contractors who disclose information about the government's use of taxpayer money to evaluate or research unidentified anomalous phenomenon materials. The bill applies protections across multiple agencies including federal civilian employees, the FBI, the Department of Defense, defense contractors, and intelligence community personnel. The legislation amends existing whistleblower protection laws to specifically add UAP research funding disclosures as a protected category alongside other protected disclosures like gross waste of federal funds and violations of law. The bill does not specify new funding requirements or implementation timelines, instead modifying existing statutory protections to cover this new disclosure category. The bill was introduced in November 2024 and referred to the House Committees on Oversight and Accountability, Intelligence, and Armed Services.
