FBI Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2025

The FBI Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2025 would strengthen how whistleblowing is protected for Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employees. It primarily adds new prohibitions on retaliation by FBI supervisors or managers, clarifies the process for whistleblower complaints and appeals, and assigns clearer enforcement and information-sharing duties to the Attorney General (on behalf of the FBI) along with key independent bodies like the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) and the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). It also introduces requirements aimed at reducing conflicts of interest in FBI investigative and adjudicative proceedings involving reprisal claims. In short, the bill expands protections, communication, and oversight around FBI whistleblowing, with a particular emphasis on making protections enforceable, transparent, and less vulnerable to internal management practices.
