This bill extends an existing federal whistleblower-protection law, section 4712 of title 41 of the United States Code, to cover workers on contracts, subcontracts, grants, subgrants, and personal services contracts funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The protection applies regardless of when the underlying agreement was signed, including agreements signed before this bill becomes law. The House passed it on September 15, 2026, 424 to 0.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
No organization named this measure in a lobbying filing we could read with confidence. That is not a finding that nobody lobbied it. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, and a reference that could not be pinned to exactly one measure is refused rather than guessed.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
