Summary

Creates a short title and changes federal law to limit the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Inspector General’s jurisdiction to matters that are specifically assigned to OMB by law, and requires the President to appoint an OMB Inspector General under the Inspector General Act within 120 days after enactment. Makes small technical edits to the chapter table of contents and punctuation in chapter 4 of title 5, U.S.C. The measure does not allocate new funding, create new programs, or change other agencies’ oversight authorities; it focuses on where and how the OMB Inspector General may exercise oversight and on establishing the OMB Inspector General position by presidential appointment within a 120-day deadline.
