Bill 119 HR 2602, also known as the Department of State Reorganization Consultation Act, aims to prevent the executive branch from making any changes to the Department of State without first consulting and obtaining approval from Congress. The bill seeks to ensure that any reorganization within the Department of State is done in a transparent and collaborative manner, with input from both the executive and legislative branches of government.
If passed, this legislation would require the President to submit a detailed plan for any proposed reorganization of the Department of State to Congress for review and approval.

It seeks to prevent any unilateral actions by the executive branch that could potentially undermine the Department's ability to carry out its important diplomatic and foreign policy functions. Overall, the Department of State Reorganization Consultation Act is designed to ensure that any changes to the Department of State are made in a thoughtful and collaborative manner, with the best interests of the American people in mind.
