Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill requires the investigations office within the U.S. Postal Service Inspector General's office to keep enough staff to handle its current and expected investigative workload, starting in fiscal year 2027, including adding special agents if needed. It allows the Inspector General to use existing federal pay authorities for recruitment and retention bonuses to hire and keep staff in that office. The Inspector General must review the office's workforce each year, covering staffing needs, vacancies, caseloads, and hiring progress, and report to Congress. The office may also enter into cooperative agreements with state or local governments to assist their law enforcement agencies with investigations related to its work.
