Summary
Amends the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 (WPA) to extend the authorization of appropriations for the Merit Systems Protection Board and the Office of Special Counsel (OSC). Makes numerous miscellaneous and technical amendments to various OSC provisions under WPA, including those regarding OSC administration and powers of disclosure, investigation of prohibited personnel practices and individual rights of action in certain reprisal cases, and OSC reports. Amends Federal law to: (1) make an agency decision to order psychiatric testing or examination of an employee a personnel action subject to review in whistleblower cases; (2) extend protection against certain prohibited personnel practices to employees of Government corporations; (3) make agency and Government corporation heads responsible for ensuring that their employees are informed of the rights and remedies available under Federal law for whistleblowers; (4) make compliance with merit systems principles a factor in Senior Executive Service performance appraisals; and (5) revise the definition of covered position with respect to prohibited personnel practices. Requires OSC to: (1) issue a policy statement regarding the implementation of WPA; and (2) include in any letter terminating an investigation of a prohibited personnel practice the identification of an OSC employee who can respond to questions on the investigations.
