The FBI Hiring Review Act

This bill would require the Justice Department's Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Management and Compliance, working with the Office of Personnel Management, to audit hiring records for FBI employees hired after Public Law 119-21 was enacted, to confirm that hiring requirements such as background checks were complete and met federal standards. The same official would check FBI employees hired since January 20, 2025 against state-level misconduct files, including police records and law enforcement employment records, to see whether that information was considered before hiring. Within 180 days, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers would have to certify that every FBI agent or officer completed required training. Within one year, the Government Accountability Office would report the audit findings and training pass and fail rates to the House and Senate Judiciary and Appropriations Committees.
