Prevent Tariff Abuse Act
This bill amends the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to explicitly prohibit the President from using emergency powers to impose import taxes (tariffs), tariff-rate quotas, or other import quotas. It directly affects the President's authority under this law, removing a potential tool for trade restrictions during emergencies. The key provision inserts a new subsection (c) clarifying that the President cannot impose such import barriers through emergency authority. This is a procedural change to existing law, not a new policy affecting specific industries or individuals.
