Bill Summary
A bill to amend title 5, United States Code, relative to the powers of the Inspector General of the Department of Justice.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Inspector General Access Act of 2025, amends existing law to modify the investigative powers of the Inspector General (IG) of the Department of Justice (DOJ). Specifically, the bill removes a previous limitation on the IG's ability to investigate certain types of allegations against DOJ personnel by eliminating a specific paragraph that previously restricted the scope of investigations. The changes effectively broaden the Inspector General's authority to conduct investigations into DOJ personnel, removing language that previously exempted certain types of allegations from scrutiny. By striking out restrictive language and redesignating paragraph numbers, the bill aims to provide the Inspector General with more comprehensive investigative capabilities, potentially enhancing oversight and accountability within the Department of Justice.
