The general government bill also contains several provisions that amount to fallout from recent scandals involving conferences at GSA and the IRS, as well as the IRS’s use of political terms in reviewing applications for tax-exempt status. The bill would cut 10 percent from IRS enforcement funding until all the recommendations of an IG report are carried out, bar funding for IRS conferences pending compliance with a separate report, and bar payment of employee bonuses and awards pending a review of that program. The bill also would tighten controls on travel and conferences at GSA while adding money to the IG offices there and at OPM. Meanwhile, House Republicans plan to call up a series of bills including one further tightening controls on conferences and another that would allow agencies to suspend employees who are under investigation for alleged misconduct for up to 90 days, potentially without pay. The House passed a similar bill creating a new category of "investigative leave" last year but the Senate did not take it up. The IRS separately has canceled awards to managers for this year and is reviewing whether it can do the same to non-managerial employees. NTEU believes that its contract with the agency requires that those awards be paid; others disagree.
