Law

A new bill introduced by Mr. Levin would remove certain passport fees for veterans who earned the Purple Heart or the Medal of Honor.
The policy aims to show appreciation for veterans who were wounded in service or performed acts of extreme bravery by reducing their travel costs.
The State Department and the Department of Defense would create a system to check military records and confirm that an applicant is eligible for the free passport.
This change would help decorated veterans save money on application and renewal fees when they want to travel outside the United States.
