PATH to the Foreign Service Act

Summary

The bill lets former United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Foreign Service members be hired into the State Department’s Foreign Service without taking the entrance exam, and at a grade that matches their prior rank and service. It also gives them hiring preference points and counts their USAID service toward seniority and retirement. The measure aims to smooth career transitions between the two agencies.
