Bill in Congress could suspend your passport if you own taxes to the IRS

There is a new bill in Congress that is expected to pass that would allow the government to suspend your travel outside the country if you own taxes to the IRS.

Senate Bill 1813 (Highway trust fund), which was passed by the Senate last week and is now pending in the House of Representatives contains a provision that would allow the IRS to order the State Department to refuse to grant, refuse to renew, revoke or restrict the passport of any US citizen which the IRS certifies owes the IRS $50,000 or more in unpaid taxes. There is no requirement that the tax payer be guilty of or even charged with tax evasion, fraud, or any criminal offense - only that the citizen is alleged to owe the IRS back taxes of $50,000 or more.

With Capital Control measures expected to be implemented in 2013, which would force Americans to keep their money from going offshore, the laws being legislated are now affecting the average citizen far more than any action against terrorists, or in support of the 'War on Terror'. +++++++++++++++++++++
Pretty soon, owing the government $50K will be forgetting to pay a parking ticket, the way our dollar is diving.

S. 1813 is one of those big omnibus bills, mostly concerned with transportation and such. Haven't read it all yet, but will. Here's the PDF.

Buried on page 12 of 1200+. still in the table of contents, I found this:

Sec. 40304. Revocation or denial of passport in case of certain unpaid taxes.
Sec. 40305. 100 percent continuous levy on payments to Medicare providers
and suppliers.

Time to call your CONgresscritters, if they will listen to you, unlike my own dear Tammy Gay Baldwin...
