H.R. 3860, the No Passports for Terrorists and Traffickers Act, would allow the Secretary of State to deny or revoke passports for individuals who have been charged with or convicted of providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations, as well as those the Secretary determines have knowingly aided such organizations. The bill affects U.S. citizens and nationals seeking to obtain or maintain passport privileges, with particular focus on those with terrorism-related charges or convictions. The legislation includes safeguards such as allowing individuals to appeal denials or revocations within 60 days and permitting the Secretary to issue limited return-only passports or grant humanitarian waivers in emergency circumstances. The Secretary would be required to submit reports to Congress within 30 days of each passport denial, revocation, or appeal decision. The bill contains no specific funding or timeline requirements beyond the 60-day appeal window and 30-day reporting deadline.
