U.S. passports would be taken from people owing over $2,500 in child support.
This bill would make the government take away U.S. passports from people who owe more than $2,500 in child support. Currently, the government has the choice to revoke, restrict, or limit these passports, but this bill would make revocation mandatory. It would also allow for a temporary passport if someone abroad needs to return home urgently.
Currently, the Secretary of State can revoke, restrict, or limit a U.S. passport for individuals with child support debt. This happens after the Secretary of Health and Human Services certifies the debt. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of State would have to revoke U.S. passports for individuals owing more than $2,500 in child support. The options to restrict or limit passports would be removed, making revocation the only action. Individuals would also be notified of this action beforehand.
