Inspector General Access Act of 2025

The "Inspector General Access Act of 2025" aims to enhance the investigative powers of the Department of Justice Inspector General (DOJ IG) by amending Section 413 of title 5, United States Code. This amendment specifically targets the IG's authority regarding investigations of Department of Justice personnel. The bill strikes a provision that previously limited the DOJ IG's ability to investigate allegations of criminal misconduct by DOJ employees when those allegations fell within the investigative jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. By removing this restriction, the legislation broadens the scope of cases the Inspector General can pursue. This change ensures the DOJ IG has more comprehensive authority to investigate potential wrongdoing across the Department, thereby strengthening oversight and accountability within the agency.
