HR 6238 United States House · 118th Congress

To require the Secretary of State to report a Government Accountability Office High Risk List for weaknesses in the department's information technology acquisitions and operations, human capital management, Federal real property, and personal security clearance of the United States.

This bill requires the Secretary of State to report to Congress on progress implementing the Government Accountability Office's (GAO) High Risk List recommendations for the Department of State. It specifically targets four areas: improving information technology acquisitions, strategic human capital management, federal real property management, and security clearance processes. Within 90 days of enactment, the Secretary must submit this report to the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The bill does not create new policies but mandates a formal review of existing GAO recommendations affecting the State Department's operations.
