Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act; waiver of sovereign immunity. Provides that the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act expressly waives sovereign immunity and creates a cause of action for an employee of the Commonwealth, its agencies, or any political subdivision against such entity if an adverse employment action is taken against the employee by his employer because the employee has opposed any practice by his employer prohibited by the Act or participated in an investigation, action, or hearing under the Act. Any relief awarded to an employee under this bill shall be reduced by any amount awarded to the employee through a state or local grievance process. This bill is in response to the Virginia Supreme Court's decision in Ligon v. Goochland, 279 Va. 312 (2010).
