This bill amends federal law to extend whistleblower protections to certain modified contracts awarded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Specifically, when HUD modifies existing contracts within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the department must make best efforts to include contract clauses that apply whistleblower protections to those modified agreements. The legislation defines covered modifications broadly to include contract option years, extensions, renewals, substantial deviations, significant amendments, and annual cost adjustments. This measure ensures that employees and contractors working on HUD projects have access to the same whistleblower safeguards that protect those on other federal contracts, allowing them to report misconduct without fear of retaliation.
