Plain-English Summary

The government would be prevented from lowering or eliminating citizenship application fees, meaning people seeking to become U.S. citizens would always have to pay the full cost set by law. Currently, the Department of Homeland Security can reduce or waive these fees for applicants who cannot afford them, but this bill would eliminate that flexibility. This would affect immigrants applying for citizenship, particularly those with lower incomes who might struggle to pay the full application fee.
