Leave No Americans Behind Act of 2026

The Leave No Americans Behind Act of 2026 modifies how the U.S. Department of State handles financial arrangements for evacuating American citizens from foreign countries. It removes the ability for the State Department to charge evacuees for repatriation costs and eliminates a specific subsection related to reimbursement procedures. Under this bill, the government would no longer seek to recover evacuation expenses from individuals being rescued or evacuated during crises. The law directly impacts the State Department's budgeting and financial processes for emergency evacuations.
