Bill Summary
A BILL To exclude the imposition of duties and import quotas from the authorities provided to the President under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Prevent Tariff Abuse Act, aims to modify the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), a law that grants the President broad powers to regulate international economic transactions during national emergencies. Specifically, the bill would prohibit the President from using the authorities provided under IEEPA to impose import duties, tariffs, or import quotas. The bill achieves this by adding a new subsection (c) to Section 203 of IEEPA, which explicitly states that the presidential powers granted under this section do not include the ability to impose duties, tariff-rate quotas, or other quotas on goods entering the United States. This effectively limits the President's ability to unilaterally impose trade restrictions or tariffs by invoking national emergency powers, potentially constraining executive authority in trade policy and providing a check on presidential trade actions.
