Sponsored By: Representative Dingell
Introduced
Summary
Eliminates the State Department repatriation loan program. This bill would amend 22 U.S.C. 2671 by deleting the clause that allows emergency repatriation loans, removing the language that permits reimbursements to be credited to State Department appropriations, and striking subsection (d). The change would remove the statutory authority for repatriation loans and end the related reimbursement and crediting rules that supported them, affecting U.S. citizens seeking emergency evacuation assistance and the Department's reimbursement powers.

Evacuated Americans lose State loans
If enacted, individuals evacuated abroad would no longer be able to get repatriation loans from the State Department. The bill would remove the Department's authority to reimburse evacuation costs. It would also remove the rule allowing those reimbursements to be credited to State Department appropriations. This would take effect upon enactment. Households that relied on these loans would likely need to pay evacuation costs out of pocket.
