This bill would eliminate the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) one year after enactment. Its duties would be split among the Office of Management and Budget, the Government Accountability Office, and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers, and it makes technical changes to laws referencing CIGIE.
Federal employees in offices of inspectors general across dozens of agencies would be directly affected. Members of the public who rely on whistleblower protections or government fraud oversight would be indirectly affected.
Without a single dedicated coordinating council, coordination of cross-agency fraud and misconduct investigations could change, and consistency of whistleblower protections and oversight standards across agencies could be affected.
