HR 9725 United States House · 119th Congress

Restoring Integrity and Efficiency to Inspector General Oversight Act of 2026

This bill abolishes the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, a group that previously oversaw federal audit and inspection activities, replacing it with a new structure led by the Office of Management and Budget and the Comptroller General. Under the new system, the Office of Management and Budget will set policies and standards for Inspector General workforces, while the Comptroller General will establish rules for conducting inspections. The legislation also creates a dispute resolution process for multi-agency audits and assigns the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers to manage professional training academies for these officials. Additionally, the bill transfers the Council's remaining funds and assets to other agencies and ensures that current legal proceedings and contracts involving the Council remain valid after the change.
