Community Passport Services Access Act

This bill, titled the "Community Passport Services Access Act," amends the Passport Act of June 4, 1920, to expand the entities authorized to process passport applications. It specifically allows the Secretary of State to designate certain public libraries as passport acceptance facilities, enabling them to collect and retain the execution fee for passport applications. To qualify, these libraries must be organized as non-governmental, non-profit, charitable organizations or trusts and comply with all prescribed regulations. Furthermore, the legislation mandates that the Secretary of State authorize any public library that previously served as a passport acceptance facility and was compliant with regulations before the bill's enactment, within 30 days. The Secretary must also submit a report to Congress detailing compliance with this mandate or providing an explanation for any non-compliance. These changes aim to enhance community access to passport services by leveraging public library infrastructure.
