Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
This bill bars the Department of Homeland Security from imposing any of its functions on Internal Revenue Service personnel unless the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) determines the personnel are trained and that the imposition would not impede IRS administration (including taxpayer service and fair enforcement). The TIGTA determination becomes effective when published in the Federal Register and may be terminated the same way.
Left emphasizes protecting taxpayer service and civil oversight
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill establishes a concise administrative precondition (a TIGTA determination) before DHS functions can be imposed on IRS personnel and integrates that requirement into existing statutory text.

The bill also makes a conforming amendment to the Homeland Security Act to reference this requirement.
Low fiscal impact and focused scope favor enactment, but potential executive-branch resistance and Senate procedures lower odds.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill establishes a concise administrative precondition (a TIGTA determination) before DHS functions can be imposed on IRS personnel and integrates that requirement into existing statutory text. It provides basic mechanism language (criteria for the determination and Federal Register publication) but omits important procedural, fiscal, and contingency details.

These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Left emphasizes protecting taxpayer service and civil oversight
Likely supportive because it protects IRS capacity to serve taxpayers and preserves oversight against mission creep.
It aligns with priorities for civil service integrity, transparency, and safeguarding taxpayer rights, though impacts on interagency cooperation are uncertain.
Generally favorable to stronger oversight but cautious about added bureaucracy and vague standards.
Views the bill as a reasonable check if implemented with clear procedures and prompt review timelines to avoid operational delays.
Skeptical; views the bill as potentially hampering DHS operational flexibility and expanding TIGTA authority.
Concerned it could impede national security or law-enforcement collaborations and create procedurally blocking points.
