“Both the House and the Senate have enacted versions of a highway funding bill (H.R. 22) containing this provision that is now before a conference committee. It’s likely to hit President Obama’s desk later this month. The bill sets up a mechanism to deny or revoke your passport if you have a ‘seriously delinquent tax debt.’ This is defined as a tax debt that exceeds $50,000 for which the IRS has filed a notice of lien or levy. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates this measure will raise $398 million in tax revenues over the next decade. That’s enough to pay for about 0.1% – one tenth of one percent – of estimated highway expenditures during that period.”
