Bill > HR4612

This bill modifies the legal provisions governing investigations by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General (IG), specifically amending Section 413 of Title 5 of the United States Code. The changes remove a specific paragraph (paragraph (3)) from the existing law that previously placed limitations on the IG's investigative powers, effectively expanding the IG's ability to conduct investigations into DOJ personnel. By eliminating the restrictive language and redesignating subsequent paragraphs, the bill appears to grant the DOJ Inspector General broader investigative authority and remove prior constraints on their ability to investigate certain types of allegations or conduct internal reviews. The bill's modifications suggest an intent to enhance oversight and accountability within the Department of Justice by providing the Inspector General with more comprehensive investigative capabilities. The changes are technical in nature but potentially significant in terms of increasing the IG's capacity to examine potential misconduct or issues within the department.
