WASHINGTON — The Senate unanimously passed bipartisan legislation that U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) joined Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and others in introducing to preserve a whistleblower program that is in danger of being depleted due to its own success.

The bipartisan CFTC Fund Management Act ensures that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s program that provides monetary rewards for whistleblowers can continue to operate without needing to spend a single taxpayer dollar by creating a separate account should the work of whistleblowers continue past the allocated cap for the initial program.
