Passports for Purple Hearts and Medals of Honor Act

This bill amends the Passport Act of 1920 to provide a significant benefit to certain military service members. It specifically exempts individuals who have been awarded the Purple Heart or the Medal of Honor from paying certain passport fees . To ensure proper implementation of this exemption, the legislation mandates a memorandum of understanding between the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense . This agreement will establish the necessary documentation requirements for eligible passport applications and renewals, and create a mechanism for the Department of Defense to assist in verifying applicants' service records to confirm their eligibility.
