TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING PASSPORT FEES COLLECTED BY COUNTY PASSPORT ACCEPTANCE FACILITIES.
House Bill 1901 amends state law regarding passport fees collected by county offices that serve as passport acceptance facilities. It authorizes these county offices to collect application, execution, and acceptance fees, along with reasonable fees for services like passport photographs and expedited processing, as permitted by federal law. Fees not directly remitted to federal agencies must be deposited into a new "passport acceptance facility fund" within the county treasury. Moneys in this fund are to be appropriated by the county quorum court specifically for the operation of the county's passport acceptance facility.
