Federal Funds Whistleblower Protection Extension Act

This bill extends whistleblower protections to employees, contractors, and agents working for state or local governments and non-profit organizations that administer or receive federal funds. It prohibits covered officials from retaliating against individuals who report misuse, waste, fraud, or gross mismanagement of federal funds, or violations of federal law in federally funded programs. The law establishes criminal penalties for retaliation, including fines up to $250,000 and up to 5 years in prison for intentional retaliation to conceal fraud or gain personal benefit. As a condition for receiving federal funds, states and localities must certify compliance, with non-compliance risking funding suspension or termination.
