SOX Whistleblowers Protection

Could this lead to much needed  SOX Whistleblowers Reforms?

In December the  United States  Senate approved Senate Bill 274.   The purpose of the  legislation is to restore and strengthen the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA) for federal government workers. Like SOX, the original law had been gutted and discredited by 13 years of hostile court rulings, which made it nearly impossible to qualify for protection under the law.

 The legislation restores the mandate of the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA), which was unanimously passed by Congress in 1989 and unanimously strengthened in 1994, but which since has been gutted by judicial activism that undermined congressional intent to protect for any lawful disclosure of misconduct. The amendment also strengthens the due process enforcement structure for WPA paper rights, and applies them to a broader set of harassment scenarios, such as security clearance actions, retaliatory investigations and gag orders.
