House Passes H.R. 6903 to Codify Mandatory Passport Revocation for Child Support

The House Ways and Means The Committee passed H.R. 6903 on a 40-2 vote in January 2026, and the full The House passed the bill on April 27, 2026. The bill would codify passport revocation as a mandatory enforcement remedy for child support debt and allow temporary emergency passports for parents whose passports are revoked while abroad. The Associated Press reported in February 2026 that the State Department was already planning proactive revocations, prompting hundreds of parents to settle arrears before the program launched.
