Without my amendment. Federal employee whistleblowers could end up possessing a different set of rights and protections based on where they file their claim. For example. a Border Patrol agent in Texas could be protected by a different set of whistleblower protections than a Border Patrol agent in Maine. I think the underlying legislation already provides sufficient reforms to the whistleblower protection laws by revising the statute under which the Federal Circuit reviews whistleblower claims. Going further in this legislation. removing the requirement that all appeals must go through one Federal appeals court. is going to. in the long term. be counterproductive to our policies governing Federal employment.
