Ensuring Government Oversight Continues During Funding Lapses

This act aims to ensure that independent government watchdogs, known as Inspectors General, can continue their work even when the federal government faces funding issues. This prevents interruptions in crucial audits and oversight of public spending, helping to protect taxpayer money and ensure the continuity of essential programs.
Key points
Inspectors General can continue operations and incur necessary expenses even when the government lacks an approved budget.
This ensures continuous oversight of government programs that operate despite a lack of full funding.
Citizens can be more confident that public spending oversight will not be halted during financial crises.
