Protecting Taxpayer Resources Act

Bill 119 HR 2421, also known as the "IRS Personnel Determination Act," aims to require the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration to make a specific determination regarding the imposition of certain functions on personnel of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a function of the Department of Homeland Security. This bill seeks to clarify and potentially limit the extent to which IRS personnel may be required to carry out duties related to homeland security.

The bill does not specify the exact nature of the functions that may be imposed on IRS personnel by the Department of Homeland Security, but it does emphasize the need for a clear determination by the Treasury Inspector General. This determination would likely involve an assessment of the potential impact on IRS operations and the ability of IRS personnel to effectively carry out their primary tax administration duties.

In addition to addressing the issue of imposing homeland security functions on IRS personnel, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes. These additional purposes are not explicitly outlined in the bill text, but they may relate to broader concerns about the role and responsibilities of the IRS within the federal government. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2421 represents an effort to ensure that IRS personnel are not unduly burdened with additional duties that could detract from their core mission of tax administration. By requiring a specific determination by the Treasury Inspector General, the bill aims to promote transparency and accountability in the allocation of responsibilities within the federal government.
