AI Summary This summary was generated by AI from the bill text. AI can get information wrong.

This bill would create a new Inspector General office for the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). An Inspector General is an independent watchdog that looks for waste, fraud, abuse, and other problems inside a federal agency. The bill also says this new Inspector General would have a limited role: it could only review matters that are specifically assigned to OMB by law. In addition, the President would have to appoint the Inspector General within 120 days after the bill becomes law.

  • It changes federal law so OMB is included in the rules that cover Inspectors General.
  • It adds a special rule saying the OMB Inspector General can only investigate or oversee issues that Congress has specifically given to OMB.
  • It requires the President to choose someone to serve as OMB Inspector General within 120 days of enactment.
