The FALCON Act (Fast Action for Lawful Compliance with Oversight Needs Act of 2025) requires federal agencies and their contractors to comply with requests from federal Inspectors General within 60 days. The law applies to federal employees, political appointees, grant recipients, and contractors at all levels working for federal agencies. Those who fail to comply with Inspector General requests can face serious consequences, including removal from employment, suspension without pay, or adverse contract actions as determined by agency heads or the President. Within 30 days of the law's enactment, all covered agencies must notify their personnel in writing about these new compliance requirements and potential penalties. Additionally, when noncompliance occurs, Inspectors General must report it to Congress and agency leadership within 30 days, though such notifications may include classified information when necessary to protect sensitive details.
