About this statute

This Act sets up how employees and public bodies can report wrongdoing, how disclosures are handled, and protections against reprisals. The Commissioner may decline or stop some investigations, but must notify affected people and give reasons. The Act also protects employees from reprisals, sets complaint deadlines, and requires reports, possible settlement, and arbitration steps. This part sets up the Public Interest Disclosure Commissioner, gives the Commissioner investigation powers, and creates offences for false statements, obstruction, and destroying or hiding relevant documents.
