Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill directs the Department of Justice to conduct a comprehensive review of FBI hiring and training practices. Specifically, it requires an audit of all FBI employees hired since early 2025 to verify that proper background checks and hiring standards were followed, and mandates a cross-check of new hires against state and local law enforcement misconduct records to see if such information was considered during hiring decisions. The bill also requires the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers to certify within 180 days that all FBI agents and officers have completed their required training and to document the length of each person's training. Within one year, the Government Accountability Office must submit a report to Congress summarizing the audit findings, the results of the misconduct records check, and data on FBI training pass and fail rates. The bill does not specify any new funding or appropriations for these review activities.
