This bill would give the Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community law enforcement authority similar to other federal inspector general offices. Currently, the Intelligence Community Inspector General can investigate wrongdoing but lacks the power to make arrests or enforce laws directly. The legislation amends the National Security Act of 1947 to provide these enforcement powers by applying existing law enforcement provisions that already apply to other inspector general offices throughout the federal government. This change would allow the Intelligence Community Inspector General to more effectively investigate and address misconduct within intelligence agencies. The bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines beyond its enactment.
