S 1265 United States Senate · 119th Congress

USTR Inspector General Act of 2025

This bill establishes an Inspector General (IG) for the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR). It directly affects the USTR office by requiring the creation of an independent oversight position within its structure. The key mechanism mandates the President to appoint an IG within 120 days of the bill's enactment, adding USTR to the list of federal agencies required to have an IG under existing law. This change creates internal oversight for USTR's operations but does not alter the agency's substantive trade policy responsibilities.
