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.
This bill would add a check on new or higher import taxes (tariffs). If the President raises or creates a tariff on an imported product, they must tell Congress within 48 hours and explain why, including how it could affect U.S. businesses and consumers.
Any new or higher tariff would automatically end after 60 days unless Congress votes to keep it. Congress could also vote to end it sooner. These rules would not apply to anti-dumping or countervailing duties, which are handled under other laws.
