Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This bill requires the Secretary of State to deliver, within 180 days, a report to the House Foreign Affairs and Senate Foreign Relations Committees assessing the State Department's Conflict and Stabilization Operations Bureau. The report must state whether the Bureau should be maintained, explain its unique functions, analyze costs including dissolution costs and savings, and propose which bureau(s) could absorb any functions or personnel if dissolved.
