Bill > HR4465

This bill is a technical amendment to update chapters 4, 10, and 131 of title 5 of the United States Code by incorporating laws enacted after October 19, 2021 and correcting related technical errors. The bill makes numerous changes to provisions related to Inspectors General, including clarifying their roles, reporting requirements, and procedures for removal or placement on non-duty status. It also updates references to various acts like the Inspector General Act, the Federal Advisory Committee Act, and the Ethics in Government Act across multiple titles of U.S. law. One notable addition is a new section establishing an inspections regime and Ombudsman for the Bureau of Prisons, which includes provisions for investigating conditions of confinement, handling complaints, and ensuring access to facilities for inspectors. The bill is primarily focused on maintaining the currency and accuracy of existing laws, with a particular emphasis on oversight and transparency in government operations. The amendments do not change the substantive meaning of existing laws but rather update references, correct technical errors, and ensure that recent legislative changes are properly incorporated into the U.S. Code.
