Wrap: Despite the governor's veto last year, lawmakers are still looking to restrict the rights of whistleblowers.

Lawmakers heard testimony in opposition from Tina Trickey, a woman whose husband, Jim, faced a five-year-long age discrimination suit against his employer.

Trickey says the bill assumes that businesses will do the right thing to protect their employees.

Though, Trickey says, that that isn't necessarily true. 

Supporters say whistleblowers need to be held accountable to protect businesses.

Wrap: The House heard testimony on a bill on Monday that would change the standard needed to win discrimination lawsuits.

The bill would make it more difficult for employees to prove they were discriminated against by employers.

Supporters say that current law makes it too difficult for employers to win these suits.

Attorney Jane Drummond says the financial risk of discrimination suits hurts business owners.
