This bill lets public libraries organized as nonprofits, charities, or trusts accept passport applications and keep the execution fee, if they follow State Department rules. It also requires the State Department to re-authorize, within 30 days, any public libraries already offering this service before the law passed, and to report to Congress on that process.
This affects nonprofit public libraries that offer or want to offer passport services, and applicants who use libraries to submit passport paperwork.
The change could shift some execution-fee revenue from government agencies and the Postal Service to libraries and expand the number of local locations offering passport services. It does not alter passport costs or requirements for applicants.
