HR 6115 United States House · 118th Congress

To authorize the waiver of costs of activities relating to evacuation of United States citizens when their lives are endangered by war or acts of terrorism.

HR 6115 authorizes the Secretary of State to waive costs for evacuating U.S. citizens when their lives are endangered by war or terrorism. It amends the State Department Basic Authorities Act to allow the waiver of fees under the existing repatriations loan program for such emergency evacuations. This directly affects U.S. citizens requiring urgent evacuation in conflict zones or terrorist threats and the State Department, which would manage the waiver process. The key provision removes financial barriers by eliminating repayment obligations for evacuation services during these crises. The bill does not create new programs but expands an existing authority to address immediate safety needs.
