What this bill would do
This bill is titled the ``Less Bureaucracy, Better Foreign Medical Accreditation Act''. It transfers the duties of managing the National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation from the Secretary of Education to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The legislation moves related personnel, assets, liabilities, and funding over to the Department of Health and Human Services. It also directs the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to ensure that the Act does not cause a net increase in full-time equivalent federal employees. Existing legal documents, proceedings, and suits will generally remain in effect and be adapted to include the new department. Finally, the transfer of functions takes effect six months after the date of enactment, though early implementation is allowed.
