Latest change summary
Confidence: high
This revision streamlines the bill by removing an entire section dealing with tax residency for Foreign Service Officers and consolidating the remaining provisions. The change eliminates what was originally Section 701 from Title VII and renumbers the two subsequent sections—one addressing internships for part-time students and another establishing a Diplomatic Reserve Corps Pilot Program—to close the gap in numbering. This represents a structural simplification rather than substantive policy modification to the retained provisions.
- Eliminates Section 701 addressing tax residency for Foreign Service Officers
- Renumbers internships provision from Section 702 to Section 701
