California Whistleblower Act
The California Whistleblower Act provides employees the opportunity to report the improper activities of state agencies or employees.
The Bureau of State Audits, operator of the hotline, investigates:
- Illegal acts like theft, fraud, or conflicts of interest by state employees.
- Misuse or abuse of state property or time by state employees.
- Gross misconduct, incompetence, or inefficiency by state employees.
The Bureau can only follow up on state government improprieties. They do not investigate misconduct by federal or local governments or by private businesses or organizations.
