Inspector General Access Act of 2025

Summary

Makes technical changes to federal inspector general access rules in 5 U.S.C. § 413 by removing a previously listed paragraph, renumbering remaining paragraphs, updating an internal cross-reference, and deleting a phrase that had excluded certain allegations from a subsection. The net effect is to eliminate a former exception so that the referenced subsection applies without that exclusion, with no new funding or program authorizations.

• Makes editorial and technical amendments to 5 U.S.C. § 413.
• Removes a paragraph previously listed in subsection (b) and renumbers remaining paragraphs.
• Deletes an exception phrase in subsection (d) that previously excluded certain allegations.
• Updates an internal cross-reference to point to the redesignated paragraph.
• Likely expands the practical reach of subsection (d) by removing the prior exclusion.
• Does not create new spending, programs, or criminal penalties.
• Requires updates to agency and inspector general references and guidance but imposes no explicit new compliance costs.
• No effective date specified in the provided summary; typically effective on enactment absent other language.
