Passports for Purple Hearts and Medals of Honor Act

This bill would change the Passport Act of 1920 so that the federal government does not collect certain passport fees from people who were awarded the Purple Heart or the Medal of Honor. The Secretary of State, through the Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs, would have to sign an agreement with the Secretary of Defense to help carry out this fee exemption. That agreement would set documentation requirements for eligible passport applications and renewals. It would also create a way for the Department of Defense to help verify those documents by checking them against applicants' service records.
