HR 7654 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To authorize the consolidation of reports required to be submitted by the Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy of the Department of State, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill authorizes the consolidation of reports submitted by the Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy of the Department of State into a single annual report due by September 30 each year. The consolidated report must be submitted in machine-searchable format and contain all information required by statute. Quarterly reports and reports required in advance of budget expenditures are exempt from consolidation and must be submitted according to their statutory timelines. Reports that cannot be consolidated within one year without losing required information may be excluded from the consolidated report, but must be listed with a certification that they will be submitted by their statutory due date. The consolidation does not waive any requirement for congressional notification.
