A bill for an act relating to disclosure to the general assembly of information concerning nongovernmental employers and providing remedies.

This Iowa bill protects private employees who disclose workplace violations or safety hazards to lawmakers. It prohibits employers from stopping such disclosures, punishing employees for making them, or requiring employees to notify them about disclosures. Employees facing retaliation can seek court-ordered reinstatement, back pay, or compensation (up to three times annual wages). The bill also ensures these disclosures remain confidential and prevents employers from using deceptive tactics to avoid liability.
