To modify the scope of the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction.
HR 6247 amends Section 1229(m)(1)(B) of the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act to change the description of the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction's (SIGAR) mandate. The bill replaces the phrase "reconstruction of Afghanistan" with "assistance for the benefit of the Afghan people" in the law. This technical adjustment broadens SIGAR's oversight scope to include all U.S. assistance to Afghanistan, not just physical reconstruction projects. The change directly affects SIGAR's reporting requirements under the law.
