Plain-English Summary

The proposal would give the Inspector General's office within the intelligence community the power to conduct law enforcement activities, such as investigating crimes and making arrests, rather than just reviewing and auditing intelligence agencies' work. This change would allow the office to more directly enforce rules and hold intelligence agencies accountable for wrongdoing. The measure affects how intelligence agencies like the CIA and NSA are overseen and investigated for potential violations.
