This bill would change how the State Department evaluates and promotes Foreign Service officers. It prohibits considering diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility advocacy or commitment when evaluating officers for tenure and promotion, and instead requires evaluations to focus on merit system principles like job performance and qualifications. The legislation also requires that selection boards review any performance improvement plans issued to officers over the previous five years and removes the requirement for a public member to serve on selection boards. Additionally, it mandates that selection board chairs come from the same career track as the officers they are evaluating. The bill contains no specific funding or implementation timeline beyond requiring the Secretary of State to make the necessary changes immediately.
