Independent Counsel investigations were authorized by Congress in the 1978 Ethics in Government Act. The authorization expired December 15, 1992, five years after the enactment of the Independent Counsel Reauthorization Act of 1987. However, the provisions of the chapter remained in effect for ongoing investigations. In June 1994, the Independent Counsel Reauthorization Act of 1994 was signed into law. On June 30, 1999, the Reauthorization Act of 1994 expired and to-date there has been no reauthorization. The provisions of the chapter remain in effect for ongoing investigations.
