Would make numerous technical changes to the bill, including reordering, for stylistic purposes, whistleblowers’ protected activities; conforming the language regarding causes of action to other accepted statutory language on the same subjects, particularly with respect to assigning court jurisdiction; clarifying that reporting to the employer or the government regarding the adequacy of an oil spill response plan is included among whistleblowers’ protected activities; and other technical corrections that do not alter the substance of the bill.
