Under this legislation, if the President does not nominate an IG to fill a vacancy within 180 days, the agency’s interim IG is submitted to the Senate for permanent confirmation. This would guarantee that federal agencies are not without Inspectors General for extended periods of time. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
