Summary

The bill adds a rule that any inspector general whose office is created by state or local law must be allowed to view public records if the law gives them that authority and they need the records to perform their duties. It also ties any further sharing of those records by the inspector general to existing public‑information restrictions. The change aims to improve oversight while preserving confidentiality rules.
