Sean and David Goldman Act Amendments

This bill amends the 2014 Sean and David Goldman International Child Abduction Prevention and Return Act. It updates definitions to include cases where parents seek access or return rights, expands congressional committee references, and adjusts age-related provisions. Most significantly, it requires U.S. consular officers to annually contact abducted children aged 16+ (until age 18 or their request to stop) to advise them about passport rights and military benefits. It also mandates a $1 million study on harm caused by international parental child abduction, to be completed within a year of enactment. The changes directly affect abducted children, their parents seeking assistance, and U.S. diplomatic missions handling such cases.
