## Summary

**Extends federal whistleblower protections to all HUD-funded activities.** This bill would apply the protections in 41 U.S.C. § 4712 to any contract, subcontract, grant, subgrant, or personal services contract funded with Department of Housing and Urban Development appropriations. That coverage would apply regardless of when an agreement was executed. The bill does not change the content of section 4712, add new enforcement tools, alter remedies, or provide new funding. It simply clarifies that HUD-funded contractors and recipients fall under existing federal contractor whistleblower law.
