AI Summary
This bill, the Expeditionary Diplomacy Act of 2021, aims to encourage a culture of risk management rather than risk avoidance at the Department of State. It amends the Diplomatic Security Act to promote a culture that enables diplomats to pursue vital diplomatic goals while mitigating security risks. Key provisions include: replacing the Accountability Review Board with a Security Review Committee to evaluate security incidents, requiring quarterly briefings on progress towards reopening high-risk, high-threat diplomatic posts, and reporting requirements on new regulations for the Security Review Committee. The bill seeks to empower diplomats to engage more actively overseas while balancing security concerns.
