Enhancing Protections for Whistleblower Anonymity Act This bill establishes a new criminal offense related to the disclosure of a whistle-blower's identity. Specifically, the bill prohibits a federal employee or contractor from disclosing the identity of a whistle-blower or identifying information about a whistle-blower. A violator is subject to criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to one year, or both. Additionally, the bill authorizes a whistle-blower to file a civil suit against a federal employee or contractor who discloses or threatens to disclose the whistle-blower's identify. The bill includes exceptions for disclosures that are made to other government employees and permitted under current law.
