Key Points

Creates a State Department program that pays cash rewards to people who report illegal defense export activity that leads to civil penalties.

Pays whistleblowers 10% to 30% of the civil penalty collected, with rules for splitting money if multiple people report together.
Lets people report anonymously (usually through a lawyer) and adds strong job protections so employers can’t punish workers for reporting.
Sets limits: people who learned info through certain compliance/audit roles often can’t get paid, and knowingly false reports don’t get protection.
