Saving Americans in Foreign Evacuations (SAFE) Act

This bill waives reimbursement requirements for U.S. citizens and permanent residents evacuated from Israel during the 2024 fiscal year due to the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack and subsequent conflict. It requires the State Department to provide free travel organized under existing authorities without requiring evacuees to repay costs. The bill also mandates a report within 185 days of enactment analyzing the feasibility of extending this free travel policy globally, including cost estimates, new Department responsibilities, needed authorities, and potential moral hazard issues. It authorizes $2 million for State Department expenses related to implementing these provisions during fiscal year 2024.
