Plain-English Summary

The legislation would require federal agencies to give their internal watchdogs—called Inspectors General—direct access to all records, documents, and information they need to investigate waste, fraud, and misconduct within those agencies. Currently, some agencies can limit what information Inspectors General can see, which can slow down or prevent thorough investigations into government wrongdoing. This change would strengthen oversight by ensuring these independent investigators have the tools they need to do their jobs effectively.
