State Department Security Notification Act

HR 6119, the State Department Security Notification Act, requires the Secretary of State to notify Congress when certain high-level diplomatic officials lose their security clearances. Specifically, it applies to officials at or above Assistant Secretary level, chief of mission roles, or ambassadors/special envoys reporting directly to the Secretary. Within 15 days of a clearance suspension or revocation, the Secretary must submit a written notification to the House Foreign Affairs and Senate Foreign Relations committees, followed by a detailed briefing within 30 days covering the reasons for the action and the official's current employment status. The bill establishes a formal process for congressional oversight of security clearance actions affecting senior diplomatic personnel.
