Intelligence Community Inspector General Parity Act of 2026
About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · June 9, 2026
Referred to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Intelligence Community Inspector General Parity Act of 2026 grants law enforcement authority to the Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, bringing it into alignment with other federal inspectors general who already have such powers. Currently, the Intelligence Community Inspector General lacks the law enforcement capabilities that inspectors general at other federal agencies possess, which can limit their ability to investigate wrongdoing and enforce compliance. The bill accomplishes this by amending the National Security Act of 1947 to apply existing law enforcement provisions that already govern other federal inspectors general. This change would primarily affect the Intelligence Community Inspector General's office and its ability to conduct investigations within intelligence agencies. The legislation contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines in the text provided.
