Summary

Requires officers, employees, grant recipients/subgrantees, and contractors/subcontractors of covered federal agencies to comply with designated Inspector General (IG) requests within 60 days and authorizes administrative or contractual discipline for failures to comply. The IG must notify the agency head and appropriate congressional committees within 30 days after finding noncompliance; agencies must inform personnel within 30 days of enactment about the compliance requirement and possible discipline. Defines key terms (covered agency, covered request, Inspector General), lists certain statutory and evidentiary exclusions (including grand jury materials protected by Rule 6(e) unless the Attorney General permits disclosure), and amends chapter headings and a definition of “appropriate congressional committees” in Title 5 to reflect the new requirements.

• Creates a 60-day deadline to comply with designated Inspector General requests for covered agencies, personnel, contractors, and grantees.
• Authorizes administrative discipline (suspension, removal) and adverse contract actions for noncompliance.
• Agency heads must notify personnel in writing within 30 days of enactment about the compliance rule and possible discipline.
• IGs must notify the agency head and appropriate congressional committees within 30 days after determining noncompliance; notifications are unclassified with an optional classified annex.
• Discipline for agency heads is at the President's sole discretion; discipline for others is at the agency head's sole discretion.
• Defines key terms (covered agency, covered request, Inspector General) and sets out statutory/evidentiary exclusions, including protections for grand jury materials under Rule 6(e) absent Attorney General permission.
• Amends Title 5 to add the new compliance section, update the chapter table of contents, and expand the definition of appropriate congressional committees in 5 U.S.C. §401.
