While CFR doesn't seem to have been updated yet since the Congress and President made this law, those passport-holding parties potentially impacted by this law should be aware that submitting your passport for additional pages, renewal or any other purpose to State Department -- whether within the US or beyond -- will facilitate revocation of already issued passports.
What is to be seen is: if issued passports will be revoked under this law and thus seized by DHS on exit from or entry to the US for those with proclaimed civil debts to the IRS; and/or if issued passports will only be seized under this law if the person is seeking passport services; and/or if issued passports will be revoked under this law and reported to Interpol for entry in the Interpol databases for reported stolen, lost, revoked passports.
For those who may be subject to being hit by this law as the implementation structure gets in place, getting a new passport as soon as possible may make sense -- at least if applying on a basis that doesn't involve handing in a currently valid passport and/or if having a reasonable basis to have more than one US passport with overlapping validity. And the expedite fee could be well worth it.
A newly-issued, full-duration, adult passport not being presented to State Department employees may end up useful for as long as ten years. And ten years is long enough to: potentially acquire a new citizenship and related passport; and/or wait out the statue of limitations for collections and/or assessments assuming the person has filed their taxes and there has been no fraud involved. Just saying.
