What this bill does
H.R. 10095 would amend the Foreign Service Act of 1980 to require that members of the Foreign Service who are ordered to take leave under Section 903 of that Act be eligible—and required—to receive certain allowances, lodging, and related benefits during that leave. This includes per diem-type benefits described in Section 5702 of Title 5, United States Code, which governs travel and subsistence allowances for federal employees.
The bill affects Foreign Service members who are placed on required leave, a status distinct from voluntary leave and typically directed by the government for administrative or operational reasons. Under current law, the bill's text suggests such members may not automatically receive per diem-style allowances while on this required leave; the bill would establish that they must receive such benefits, aligning their treatment with standard federal travel and subsistence allowance rules.
The bill was introduced on August 13, 2026, by Rep. William Keating, with co-sponsors Rep. Kean and Rep. Olszewski, and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. As an introduced bill, it has not yet received committee action, a vote, or further consideration. It would need to pass through committee review, potential floor votes in the House and Senate, and presidential signature before becoming law.
