To amend the Foreign Service Act of 1980 to provide per diem eligibility for required leave of members of the Foreign Service.

This bill amends the Foreign Service Act of 1980 to ensure that members of the U.S. Foreign Service who are ordered to take leave continue to receive their standard daily allowances and lodging benefits. The legislation directly affects foreign service officers by making them eligible for these financial supports, including those outlined in federal employee housing regulations. By codifying this requirement, the bill clarifies that such benefits must be provided during mandated leave periods rather than being discretionary.
