Following natural disasters, our first responders often travel to assist foreign communities in the aftermath of hurricanes, earthquakes, and other catastrophes. This legislation will remove one small hurdle in their journey to assist by waiving passport fees for these first responders to ensure they are always ready to render life-saving aid to those in need. Issa joined with Representative Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania on the legislation, whichHouse Committee on Foreign Affairs Chairman Ed Royce and Ranking Member Eliot Engel cosponsored along with 24 other members. The House Committee on Foreign Affairs approved the First Responders Passport Act unanimously on November 4, 2015. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
