Amend the Passport Act of June 4, 1920, to authorize certain public libraries to collect and retain a fee for the execution of a passport application.

Summary

Allows qualifying public libraries organized as nonprofits, charitable organizations, trusts, or similar nongovernmental entities to be designated by the Secretary of State as passport acceptance facilities and to collect and retain the passport execution fee, provided they follow State Department rules for accepting and executing passport applications. Requires the Secretary to reauthorize any public library that previously served as a passport acceptance facility and was in compliance to resume that role and keep execution fees within 30 days of enactment, and to report to relevant congressional committees within 30 days about compliance with that deadline.

• Authorizes qualifying public libraries organized as nonprofits or similar entities to serve as passport acceptance facilities.
• Permits those libraries to collect and retain the passport execution fee when they comply with State Department rules.
• Directs the Secretary of State to reauthorize formerly compliant library acceptance facilities within 30 days of enactment.
• Requires a 30-day post-enactment report to congressional committees documenting compliance with the 30-day authorization requirement or explaining noncompliance.
• Updates 22 U.S.C. 214(a) to explicitly include qualifying public libraries and adjusts statutory cross-references.
• Does not appropriate new federal funds or alter the amount of the passport execution fee.
• Places responsibility on libraries to meet federal passport acceptance regulations (training, identity verification, security).
