Bill Summary
A BILL To exempt small business concerns from duties imposed pursuant to the national emergency declared on April 2, 2025, by the President and to refund small business concerns the amount of any such duties paid.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Small Business RELIEF Act, aims to provide relief to small businesses by exempting them from certain import duties imposed under a national emergency declaration. Specifically, the bill would eliminate duties established by Executive Order 14257, which was issued on April 2, 2025, for goods imported by or for small businesses. The bill requires the President to refund any duties already paid by small businesses under this executive order within 90 days of the bill's enactment. The term "small business concern" is defined using the existing definition in the Small Business Act, which typically considers factors like company size, revenue, and industry to determine small business status. By providing this exemption and refund, the bill seeks to reduce the financial burden on small businesses during a national emergency, potentially helping them maintain economic stability and continue importing necessary goods.
