Protecting Taxpayer Resources Act
To require a certain determination by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration regarding the imposition on personnel of the Internal Revenue Service a function of the Department of Homeland Security, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill requires the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration to make a determination before the Department of Homeland Security can assign any of its functions to Internal Revenue Service personnel. The determination must confirm that IRS personnel have been trained to perform the assigned function and that imposing the function would not impede the IRS's ability to provide quality service to taxpayers or enforce tax law fairly. Any such determination becomes effective upon publication in the Federal Register and can be terminated by the Treasury Inspector General. The bill also makes a conforming amendment to the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to reflect this requirement.
