Lets government watchdogs keep working during federal shutdowns
This bill would let federal Inspectors General, often called government watchdogs, keep doing their job during a government shutdown. This means their offices could continue to investigate and oversee federal programs, rather than stopping operations. It aims to ensure important oversight continues without interruption.
Currently, government oversight offices (Inspectors General) might have to stop or reduce their work during a government shutdown. If this bill becomes law, these offices would be allowed to keep operating and spending money to continue their investigations and oversight duties, ensuring continuous accountability.
