Latest action on H.R. 3735: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects White House offices, federal Inspectors General, and the officials who can remove them. It could also matter for people who rely on strong oversight of the executive branch, because it changes who watches key offices and how protected many watchdogs are from being fired.

Why this matters: This matters because Inspectors General are supposed to investigate waste, fraud, abuse, and misconduct inside government. A new watchdog for the White House could expand oversight into some of the president's closest offices. Stronger firing protections for many Inspectors General could make them feel more able to investigate powerful officials without fear of losing their jobs. But the bill does not treat every Inspector General the same, so its effect on oversight could differ across the federal government.

Key provisions in H.R. 3735

• The bill creates an Office of Inspector General inside the Executive Office of the President. It does this by changing section 401 of title 5 of the U.S. Code.
• The president would have to appoint an Inspector General for the Executive Office of the President within 90 days after the bill becomes law. The appointment would follow the current process in section 403(a) of title 5.
• Most Inspectors General appointed by the president would get stronger firing protection. The president could remove them only for inefficiency, malfeasance of office, or neglect of duty.
• Inspectors General at certain designated Federal entities would get the same firing protection. The head of that entity could remove them only for those same reasons under section 415 of title 5.
• Inspectors General at independent agencies would not be covered by this new presidential firing rule. The bill defines those agencies by listing specific boards, commissions, and other entities.
