The Inspectors General Modernization Act would change how federal inspectors general are appointed and removed from office. Currently, inspectors general serve at the pleasure of the President and can be fired without cause, but this bill would establish fixed 10-year terms of service and restrict removal to cases where the President can demonstrate cause. The legislation applies to inspectors general across federal agencies governed by these sections of federal law. This change is intended to increase the independence and stability of these oversight positions, allowing them to conduct investigations and audits of government operations without fear of sudden removal for political reasons. The bill does not specify any new funding or implementation timeline beyond the structural changes to removal and term provisions.
