Mail Integrity and Inspector General Act
The Mail Integrity and Inspector General Act requires the U.S. Postal Service's Office of Investigations to maintain staffing levels sufficient to handle its investigative workload starting in fiscal year 2027. To achieve this, the bill grants the Inspector General specific hiring authorities to improve recruitment and retention of special agents. Additionally, it mandates an annual workforce assessment report to Congress that examines vacancy rates, caseloads, and hiring progress. The legislation also permits the Office of Investigations to enter into cooperative agreements with state and local governments to assist in related law enforcement investigations.
