That is exactly why I introduced the Community Passport Services Access Act. This legislation takes a practical, commonsense step to help libraries remain viable community hubs by allowing the libraries to continue offering passport services, bringing in needed revenue, expanding services for residents, and reinforcing their role as a one-stop resource for the public.
Support legislation that allows libraries to continue offering passport services so they can generate revenue and remain viable community hubs.
Occurrences
Evidence
The official House homepage's latest-news section on June 4, 2026 surfaces other items (Ukraine Support Act, honoring New Jersey's fallen heroes, and Delaney Hall) and does not show any passport-library legislation announcement in the visible feed.
The State Department ordered nonprofit libraries to stop processing passport applications, and the article says bipartisan legislation is being introduced to amend the Passport Act of 1920 so nonprofit libraries can keep offering passport services.
Assessments
The evidence shows a legislative response was being introduced after the State Department ordered nonprofit libraries to stop processing passport applications, but it does not show that the bill passed or that Nellie Pou materially advanced or secured enactment. The official House feed also shows no visible passport-library legislative update in the cited window. Based on the record provided, the promise cannot be credited as delivered, but there is not enough evidence to mark it as a failed serious attempt either.
