Plain-English Summary

The State Department would be required to notify Congress whenever it plans to build or renovate diplomatic facilities using designs that differ from standard construction methods or specifications. This gives lawmakers advance notice and oversight of major construction projects at U.S. embassies and consulates around the world, allowing them to review whether these nonstandard approaches are necessary and appropriate before work begins.
