Less Bureaucracy, Better International Education Oversight Act

This bill moves the responsibility for certain international education and foreign language programs from the Department of Education to the Department of State. These programs include things like National Resource Centers, Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowships, and the Fulbright-Hays Program, along with the staff and funding that go with them. The bill also gets rid of the Institute for International Public Policy and requires the Office of Management and Budget to make sure the move doesn't increase the total number of employees at either department. Any applications, legal cases, or benefits that are already in progress when the bill takes effect would not be disrupted by the transfer.
