    The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) has issued a technical amendment to correct a mistake in one of its regulations. The regulation involved is about how complaints concerning prohibited personnel practices are filed, and the OSC fixed the citation of a law to reference the correct version, the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act of 1996 instead of 1998. This change is effective immediately because it is considered non-substantive and in the public's best interest to address it swiftly.

    Simple Explanation

    The Office of Special Counsel fixed a small mistake by changing a reference in its rules to point to the right year, 1996 instead of 1998, so people know which law they mean when dealing with certain workplace complaints.
