Department of State Policy Provisions Act

This bill sets policy and rules for the U.S. Department of State and foreign policy. It would end many existing recurring reports the Department sends to Congress, let the Secretary of State label countries that wrongfully detain Americans as State Sponsors of Unlawful or Wrongful Detention, and require the Department to give preference to American-made goods in purchasing. It would limit which flags may fly at Department buildings, require embassy art to feature U.S. themes and U.S. artists, and require the Secretary to refuse or revoke passports for people charged with or convicted of providing material support to terrorism. It also creates new offices and programs, adds notice requirements to Congress, and addresses relations with many specific countries and regions.
