A bill to require senior Department of State officials to maintain security clearances and to require the Secretary of State to notify Congress when the security clearances of such officials are suspended or revoked.

This bill requires senior Department of State officials (including Assistant Secretaries, ambassadors, chiefs of mission, and direct reports to the Secretary of State) to maintain security clearances for accessing sensitive information. If such a clearance is suspended or revoked, the Secretary of State must notify Congress within 15 days and provide a detailed briefing within 30 days, including the official's name, position, and documentation of the clearance action. The bill targets oversight of security clearance changes for high-level foreign policy staff, not policy changes themselves. It applies specifically to the Committee on Foreign Relations (Senate) and Committee on Foreign Affairs (House), with no new security standards imposed.
