Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and semiannually until the Global Health Advisory of Level 4: Do Not Travel is rescinded by the Secretary of State, the Secretary shall provide a comprehensive progress report on the Bureau of Consular Affairs response to the COVID–19 pandemic to the appropriate congressional committees, including issues such as, but not exclusively, assessment of consular system failures due to lack of resources—personnel, technical, system design, or capacity—and resources needed to improve current and future performance of American Citizen Services during this and future global health crises. The report required under paragraph
(1)shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified annex. The Secretary of State shall direct the Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs to direct an annual worldwide consular test of remote processing (including a minimum 80-percent remote consular telework worldwide) and systems with reporting of outcomes to Congress within 90 days after each test. The first test shall be held not later than 60 days after the Secretary of State rescinds the Global Health Advisory of Level 4: Do Not Travel.
