This bill would strengthen the Inspector General's authority to investigate the Department of Justice by removing limitations on their investigative powers. Specifically, it eliminates restrictions that previously prevented the Inspector General from conducting certain investigations into DOJ personnel and allegations. The bill was introduced in February 2024 by a bipartisan group of senators, including Durbin, Lee, Grassley, and others, and was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The legislation amends federal law to give the DOJ Inspector General broader access and authority to oversee department officials without certain carve-outs that currently exist. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are specified in the bill text.
