Inspector General Accessibility Reporting Act
This bill requires the Department of State's Office of the Inspector General to include accessibility information in its overseas post inspections. It directly affects the Department of State by mandating that inspectors evaluate whether facilities meet established accessibility standards for individuals with disabilities. The key provision adds a specific requirement to report on how well each post complies with architectural barriers laws and related accessibility guidelines. By updating definitions in the Foreign Service Act, the bill clarifies what standards apply and ensures regular oversight of accessibility compliance at U.S. diplomatic missions abroad.
