Protecting Taxpayer Resources Act
Sponsored By: Representative DelBene, Suzan K. [D-WA-1]
Introduced
Summary
Protects IRS operations by blocking Department of Homeland Security duties from being placed on IRS staff unless an independent inspector general signs off. This bill would require the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration to determine that IRS personnel are trained to perform any proposed DHS function and that assigning the function would not impede tax administration, including quality service to taxpayers and fair enforcement.

- IRS personnel: Would limit being reassigned to DHS tasks, helping keep them focused on tax work and reducing risks of interrupted operations.
- Taxpayers: Seeks to preserve customer service and fair enforcement by preventing untrained or diverting assignments before oversight approval.
- Oversight and transparency: Directs the inspector general to publish determinations in the Federal Register and allows that office to terminate determinations the same way.

Limits on DHS duties for IRS staff
The bill would stop DHS from assigning its duties to IRS workers unless a watchdog first signs off. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration would have to find that IRS staff are trained and that this would not slow IRS service or fair enforcement. That finding would take effect when it is published in the Federal Register. The watchdog could also end the approval by publishing a notice.
