**Establishes an Office of Inspector General for the Office of Management and Budget.** The bill would add OMB and its Director to federal Inspector General definitions and limit the new inspector general's jurisdiction to matters that laws specifically assign to OMB. - OMB leadership and staff: The bill explicitly names the Office of Management and Budget and its Director in Title 5 definitions, clarifying they fall within Inspector General law. - Oversight scope: The OMB inspector general would have authority only over matters that are specifically assigned to OMB by statute, rather than broad oversight of all OMB activity. - Appointment timeline: The President would be required to appoint an inspector general for OMB within 120 days after enactment.
