Inspector General Access Act of 2024
This bill (S 3813) is a technical amendment to existing law governing Inspector General (IG) investigations of Department of Justice (DOJ) personnel. It removes a specific exception in the law that previously restricted IG access to certain allegations about DOJ staff, streamlining the investigation process. The change affects only internal DOJ oversight procedures and does not create new policies or impact the public. It is a procedural update to clarify and simplify existing IG authority under Title 5, U.S. Code.
