Ensuring Government Watchdogs Operate During Federal Shutdowns.

This bill allows federal oversight bodies (Inspectors General) to continue their operations, including auditing and investigating fraud, even during a government shutdown caused by a lapse in appropriations. This ensures that critical government programs that remain active during a shutdown are still subject to accountability and protection against waste.
Key points
Authorizes Inspectors General (IGs) to incur necessary obligations to perform their duties during a federal funding lapse (shutdown).
Maintains continuous oversight and accountability for government programs that continue operating when Congress fails to pass a budget.
