Bill > HR23

This bill, the Inspector General Protection Act, has several key provisions: 1. It amends the Inspector General Act of 1978 to require congressional notification if an Inspector General is removed from office, placed on paid or unpaid non-duty status, or has their status changed in any other way. This is intended to provide more transparency and oversight over changes to Inspector General positions. 2. It requires the President to provide an explanation to Congress if they fail to nominate a new Inspector General within 210 days of a vacancy occurring, and to provide a target date for making a nomination. This aims to ensure timely appointments of Inspectors General. 3. It includes a provision to determine the budgetary effects of the bill in compliance with the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010. Overall, the bill seeks to strengthen protections for Inspectors General, who play an important oversight role, and increase transparency and accountability around changes to their positions.
