Summary

Amends the federal whistleblower protection statute (5 U.S.C. § 2302(f)) to explicitly protect disclosures made in the normal course of duty by employees whose main job is to regularly investigate and disclose wrongdoing. The change reorganizes and renumbers the listed protected-disclosure categories and makes minor grammatical edits to preserve list structure.

• Directly amends 5 U.S.C. § 2302(f) to change how protected whistleblower disclosures are listed and numbered.
• Adds an explicit protection for disclosures made in the normal course of duty by employees whose principal job is to regularly investigate and disclose wrongdoing.
• Reorders and renumbers existing list items (A–G become 1–7) and removes one paragraph to accommodate the new item.
• Makes minor grammatical and punctuation edits to maintain the statute's list structure and clarity.
• Does not add funding, new agencies, or enforcement processes; it is a targeted statutory clarification.
• Likely narrows ambiguity that could have excluded routine investigators from whistleblower protections.
• May affect how agencies, inspectors, auditors, and adjudicators interpret protected disclosures.
• No effective date is specified in the provided text.
• Applies to the federal statutory framework governing disclosures, so direct primary effects are on federal employees.
