Bill Summary
An Act amending the act of December 12, 1986 (P.L.1559, No.169), known as the Whistleblower Law, further providing for definitions.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Whistleblower Law in Pennsylvania to further define the term "public body" to include "judicial agency," which refers to the Supreme Court, other Commonwealth courts, and the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts. The existing law already covers various state and local government entities, and this change adds the judicial branch to the definition of a public body under the Whistleblower Law, which provides protections for employees who report wrongdoing or waste.
