# House Introduces Healthcare Exclusion Bill

Representatives Dave Taylor, Michael Rulli, Chuck Fleischmann, and Roger Williams introduced the Integrity for Taxpayers Act on October 1, 2026. The proposed bill would expand the HHS Office of Inspector General’s authority to enforce exclusions from federal healthcare programs when individuals or entities change roles after misconduct. It is a legislative proposal, not an enacted requirement, and the signal identifies no procurement, funding amount, or solicitation.

- Healthcare providers and other organizations participating in federal healthcare programs may want to review how their screening and eligibility processes handle individuals or entities that change roles after misconduct, in light of the proposed expansion.
- Procurement and compliance teams should distinguish the bill’s proposed changes from current obligations; the signal does not identify an implementation date or required procurement action.
- The measure could affect eligibility and compliance risk for organizations seeking or performing work connected to federal healthcare programs if enacted.
