This bipartisan legislation, The Office of Special Counsel Reauthorization Act of 2017, improves protections OSC provides to whistleblowers, since they are often faced with retaliation for trying to \u201ccall attention to problems in the government,\u201d Sen. Claire McCaskell, D-Mo., explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill also clarifies the access the office has to various government records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe bill will help \u2026 right the wrongs committed against federal whistleblowers, and it will ensure that federal agencies are taking steps to correct and prevent whistleblower retaliation,\u201d Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said in a press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OSC is an independent agency tasked with investigating and prosecuting cases for whistleblowers and, in turn, protecting federal employees from prohibited personnel practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt takes tremendous courage for whistleblowers to come forward, and giving them the protections they need helps ensure we can protect taxpayer dollars,\u201d said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senate passed a new bipartisan legislation Tuesday night that will help improve the
