Intelligence Community Inspector General Parity Act of 2026
The Intelligence Community Inspector General Parity Act of 2026 grants the Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community the same law enforcement authority as other federal inspector generals. This change allows the office to conduct criminal investigations and make arrests, a power it did not previously possess. The bill achieves this by adding specific legal language to the National Security Act of 1947 and updating related sections in the U.S. Code. Ultimately, the legislation aims to align the investigative capabilities of the intelligence community's oversight body with those of other federal agencies.
