This bill would change part of title 5 of the United States Code that governs the powers of the Inspector General (IG) for the Department of Justice (DOJ). It removes subsection (b)(3) from 5 U.S.C. §413, shifts the numbering of later paragraphs, and deletes language in subsection (d) that created an exception tied to subsection (b)(3).
In plain terms, the bill changes the statutes that set out how the DOJ Inspector General can investigate Department personnel. Specifically, it removes a listed exception and adjusts paragraph numbering. The bill text does not describe specific new powers or procedures beyond those textual changes.
