Limits the President’s ability to impose new or higher import duties on major agricultural trading partners by requiring a written request to Congress explaining the objective, why other options would not work, and the likely effect on the U.S. agricultural economy, and by requiring Congress to pass a specific joint resolution approving the request before the duty can be proclaimed. The measure defines key terms (like which countries and which duties are covered) and sets a procedure and timetable for congressional consideration; it does not create new spending or change the tax code.
Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
