Inspector General Access Act of 2025
This bill amends a provision of U.S. law (5 U.S. Code § 413) to remove a specific exception that previously limited Inspector General (IG) investigations of Department of Justice (DOJ) personnel. It eliminates language requiring DOJ to restrict IG probes into allegations described under a certain subsection (previously referenced as "(b)(3)"). The change directly affects DOJ staff and IGs conducting investigations, streamlining the process by removing this procedural barrier. The bill makes a technical adjustment to existing law without creating new programs or altering substantive policy.
