HR 407 United States House · 119th Congress

Prevent Tariff Abuse Act

The Prevent Tariff Abuse Act amends the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to prohibit the President from using emergency powers to impose tariffs or import quotas on goods entering the U.S. It adds a specific provision stating the President cannot impose duties, tariffs, or quotas under this law. This directly limits the executive branch's authority during emergencies, preventing the use of emergency powers for trade restrictions. The bill does not affect other trade policies or the President's other emergency authorities.
