Leave No Americans Behind Act of 2026

This bill changes a 1956 law that governs the State Department. It removes the rule that private U.S. citizens evacuated from another country during an emergency should repay the State Department for the cost when possible, up to the price of a commercial airfare. It also deletes a section of the law, which the bill describes as ending the State Department's repatriation loan program.
