This bill creates new legal protections for state employees who report crimes, misconduct, or conflicts of interest to their supervisors or appropriate authorities. State employees who make such reports in good faith will be protected from retaliation, discrimination, or adverse employment actions by their employers. The protections apply to reports made internally within state government or to law enforcement and other proper authorities.
