Waives Foreign Service Entrance Exam for former USAID officers and creates a career pathway for them.
The bill waives the Foreign Service Entrance Exam for former USAID Foreign Service members who meet entry requirements and served in good standing. It allows these former officers to be appointed to the Foreign Service Officer career track at a grade and tenure status based on their prior rank, time-in-service, and performance. The Department of State must award hiring preference points to applicants with prior USAID service. The provisions cease to be effective five years after enactment.
