Summary

Requires the President to waive fees for replacing critical documents (like passports and immigration-related forms) for people or households hit by a presidentially declared major disaster when individual assistance is provided and their documents were destroyed. Directs the State Department and USCIS to post notices online and requires annual reports to Congress on number of waivers and costs, while preserving an existing exemption that applies regardless of Form I-912 fee-waiver eligibility.

• Creates a mandatory federal duty to waive certain document-replacement fees for disaster survivors who received individuals-and-households assistance.
• Applies regardless of an applicant's eligibility under Form I-912 (USCIS fee-waiver form).
• Requires the State Department and USCIS to post public notice that waivers are available after qualifying disasters.
• Requires annual congressional reports from USCIS and the Secretary of State on number of waivers and costs, with the first report due within one year of enactment.
• Converts an existing discretionary waiver authority into a mandatory requirement tied to Stafford Act individual assistance.
• Does not appropriate new funds; waiving fees will reduce fee revenue and create modest administrative/reporting tasks for agencies.
• Limits the waiver duty to disasters where the President provides individuals-and-households assistance under the Stafford Act.
• Preserves existing statutory exemption language while expanding its application to the new mandatory waiver provision.
