This bill modifies federal law to expand the investigative authority of the Department of Justice's Inspector General by removing certain restrictions on which types of allegations they can investigate. Specifically, it eliminates a carve-out in current law that previously prohibited the Inspector General from investigating specific categories of cases, giving them broader access to examine allegations involving DOJ personnel. The bill was introduced on December 2, 2025, with bipartisan support from 11 senators spanning both parties. No specific funding or implementation timeline is outlined in the legislation, as it primarily restructures existing oversight authority rather than creating new programs or allocating resources. This change strengthens the Inspector General's independence and oversight capacity within the Justice Department.
