AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require federal agency officers and employees, including agency heads and political appointees, as well as grant recipients and contractors at any tier, to comply with an Inspector General's request for information, access, or assistance within 60 days. Those who do not comply could face administrative discipline, such as removal, suspension without pay, or an adverse contract action, decided by the agency head or, for agency heads, by the President. Inspectors General would have to notify Congress and the agency head within 30 days of finding that someone failed to comply. Agency heads would have to tell all personnel in writing about these rules within 30 days after the law takes effect.
