This bill would create a 10-member Commission on Americans Living Abroad in the executive branch, with members appointed by the President, eight of them from recommendations by House and Senate leaders of both parties. The Commission would study how federal laws affect U.S. citizens living in other countries, including taxes, financial reporting, banking access, voting, veterans' health care, Social Security, Medicare, and citizenship for family members. It would report its findings and recommendations to the President and Congress within one year, then issue an update a year later, after which it would end. Federal agencies affected by its recommendations would have to respond within 180 days, and the bill authorizes $2 million per year for fiscal years 2027 and 2028.
