Bill > HR2221

This bill establishes an Inspector General (IG) specifically for the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), a federal agency responsible for helping the President develop and implement the federal budget and government management policies. The bill amends existing law to formally create the OMB Inspector General position, defining the role's jurisdiction as being limited to matters specifically assigned to the OMB by law. The legislation requires the President to appoint an individual to this Inspector General position within 120 days of the bill's enactment. By creating this dedicated Inspector General, the bill aims to enhance oversight and accountability of the OMB, ensuring that the agency's operations are transparent, efficient, and free from waste, fraud, or abuse. The bill modifies existing legal definitions to include references to the OMB and its Director, thereby integrating the new Inspector General role into the existing framework of federal oversight mechanisms.
