What it does
The bill would transfer responsibility for managing foreign gift and contract reporting under section 117 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 from the Department of Education to the Department of State, including all related functions, personnel, assets, and unexpended appropriations. It affects the Secretary of Education, the Secretary of State, federal employees involved in foreign gift disclosure, and institutions of higher education subject to reporting requirements. The bill requires the Office of Management and Budget to ensure no net increase in federal full-time equivalent employees due to the transfer and mandates certification of compliance to congressional committees.
