Intelligence Community Inspector General Parity Act of 2026
Sponsored By: Representative Crawford, Eric A. "Rick" [R-AR-1]
Introduced
Summary
Would give the Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community law enforcement authority. The bill would amend the National Security Act to apply 5 U.S.C. §406(f) to that office. It would also change 5 U.S.C. §406(f)(3) to add the Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community to the statute's list of covered entities, placing it alongside agencies such as the Tennessee Valley Authority. The practical effect would be to let the Intelligence Community inspector general exercise the same law enforcement powers that section 406(f) provides.

More enforcement power for IC watchdog
This bill would let the Office of the Inspector General for the Intelligence Community use the law-enforcement powers in 5 U.S.C. §406(f). It would add that office to the list of covered entities in 5 U.S.C. §406(f)(3). If enacted, this change would take effect upon enactment. The bill would not create new programs, funding, or new enforcement procedures beyond applying §406(f). This mainly affects people and groups the IC OIG investigates, not most households.
