State employees who discover evidence of violations of laws or rules governing grants or state contracts must report them, changing from the current standard where reporting is only "encouraged"

Reports may be made to the employee's supervisor, the commissioner or commissioner's designee, or the legislative auditor

Failure to report evidence of violations or suspected violations is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment

Employees making good faith reports receive whistleblower protections under section 181.932, prohibiting employer discrimination against them

Legislative auditor must report to the Legislative Audit Commission when multiple complaints are received about the same agency, disclosing only the number and type of violations alleged
