What this bill would do

The Inspectors General Independence Act seeks to amend title 5 of the United States Code. This bill aims to prohibit the President from nominating individuals who are currently serving as political appointees to the position of Inspector General. Additionally, it prevents the nomination of individuals who have previously served as a political appointee under the same President. The bill also states that the Inspector General position will no longer be considered a political appointee for specific purposes.
