This bill requires the Secretary of State to include a mandatory review of Performance Improvement Plans in the tenure and promotion evaluation process for Foreign Service officers. Specifically, when Foreign Service officers undergo appraisals for tenure or promotion, the State Department must examine all Performance Improvement Plans that were issued to the officer over the previous five years for unacceptable performance. The bill affects Foreign Service officers at the State Department and aims to ensure that past performance issues documented through improvement plans are considered when deciding whether officers should receive tenure, promotions, or advancement in their careers. The legislation does not specify funding requirements or implementation timelines beyond requiring the Secretary of State to ensure the review process occurs.
