Bill closes the Council of Inspectors General, splits its work across offices.

What it does

This bill shuts down CIGIE. CIGIE set rules and best practices for inspectors across the nation. Its work goes to the Office of Management and Budget, the Comptroller General, and inspectors at each office. The bill takes effect one year after it becomes law.

Who it affects

Inspectors lose a central place to share standards. They lose help catching fraud that spans many offices. People lose an organization built to protect public money.

One thing to notice

When CIGIE's work splits across different offices, each office may use different ways to find fraud. Problems that touch more than one office may be harder to spot and fix.
