S-3055 : Still Just a Bill

Disaster Victims Passport and ID Relief Act of 2018

This bill authorizes the President to provide a waiver of document replacement fees to an individual or household in a state that is adversely affected by a major disaster for any of the following:

• the passport application fee for individuals who lost their U.S. passport,
• the file search fee for a U.S. passport,
• the Application for Waiver of Passport and/or Visa form (Form I-193) fee,
• the Permanent Resident Card replacement form (Form I-90) filing fee,
• the Declaration of Intention form (Form N-300) filing fee,
• the Naturalization/Citizenship Document replacement form (Form N-565) filing fee,
• the Employment Authorization form (Form I-765) filing fee, and
• the biometric service fee.

The bill amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to include within the definition of "critical services" private nonprofit center-based childcare.
