§2741 — Title 22 Foreign Relations and Intercourse | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary and the Administrator may cover or repay the cost of security measures for certain employees or their household members when those risks come from the person’s official work or connection to the Department or USAID. Examples include security cameras and services that remove or push down online search results that show personal information. Before doing this, the Department must have a policy that says who can get help, names the office that checks and approves requests, and requires requests to be reviewed quickly.
