Summary

Federal Bureau of Investigation Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2015 This bill revises whistle-blower protections for a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employee or job applicant who discloses wrongdoing to an appropriate official. Specifically, it prohibits an FBI or Department of Justice (DOJ) employee from taking or failing to take a personnel action (e.g., demotion) with respect to an FBI employee or applicant because of a protected disclosure. A protected disclosure is a disclosure of information to an appropriate official which an employee or applicant reasonably believes evidences: (1) a violation of a law, rule, or regulation; or (2) waste, fraud, or abuse. The bill specifies the appropriate recipients of a protected disclosure, including a supervisor in an employee's direct chain of command. Finally, it sets forth procedures for filing, investigating, adjudicating, and reviewing whistle-blower retaliation complaints.
