The U.S. Senate on Oct. 18 once again passed the Criminal Antitrust Anti-Retaliation Act to extend whistleblower protection for employees who provide information to the Department of Justice related to criminal antitrust violations.
This marks the fourth time the bipartisan measure, co-authored by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), has passed the Senate, after similar versions of the legislation were unanimously passed in 2013, 2015, and 2017. It, however, has yet to be taken up by the House.
