Bill overview
This bill, the Independent Acting IGs Act of 2025, aims to improve the process for appointing acting Inspectors General when a position is vacant. It requires a judge on a court of appeals to appoint an acting IG, prioritizing the first assistant or a recommended candidate from a committee of Inspectors General. The bill also establishes a timeline for the appointment process and clarifies the authority of the judge to fill the role temporarily until a permanent replacement is found. This change is intended to ensure a more consistent and timely leadership succession within the Inspector General community.
