Summary
The Community Passport Services Access Act amends the 1920 Passport Act so that qualifying public libraries can act as passport acceptance facilities and retain the execution fee. It also authorizes libraries that already performed this role to continue, provided they meet State Department regulations. The change expands where citizens can apply for passports without creating new programs or funding.
