HR Bill 2464 Repealing Outdated and Unilateral Tariff Authorities ActUpdated 14 hours ago
Purpose and Summary
Chamber: House
Introduced date: 2025-03-27
Bill 119 HR 2464, also known as the "To repeal section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930" bill, aims to eliminate a specific section of the Tariff Act of 1...
930. Section 338 of this act currently allows the President of the United States to impose tariffs on imported goods in order to protect domestic industries. The bill proposes to repeal this section, effectively removing the President's authority to impose tariffs for this purpose. Supporters of the bill argue that this section has been misused in the past, leading to trade disputes and retaliatory tariffs from other countries. They believe that repealing this section will promote free trade and prevent unnecessary trade conflicts. Opponents of the bill, however, argue that removing this authority from the President could weaken the country's ability to protect domestic industries from unfair competition. They believe that tariffs can be an important tool in leveling the playing field for American businesses and workers. Overall, the bill has sparked debate among lawmakers and stakeholders about the role of tariffs in trade policy and the balance between protecting domestic industries and promoting free trade. It will be interesting to see how this bill progresses through Congress and what impact it may have on future trade relations.

nservation standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers. The resolution falls under chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations proposed by federal agencies. The rule in question, proposed by the Department of Energy, seeks to establish energy conservation standards for commercial refrigeration equipment. These standards would impact the energy efficiency of commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers, with the goal of reducing energy consumption and promoting environmental sustainability. Supporters of the resolution argue that the proposed rule may impose unnecessary burdens on businesses and consumers, potentially leading to increased costs and reduced choices in the market for commercial refrigeration equipment. They believe that Congress should have the authority to review and reject regulations that could have negative economic impacts. Opponents of the resolution, on the other hand, argue that the energy conservation standards are necessary to address climate change and reduce energy consumption. They believe that the rule will help to promote energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, ultimately benefiting both businesses and consumers in the long run. Overall, Bill 119 SJRes 44 represents a debate over the balance between economic considerations and environmental concerns in the regulation of commercial refrigeration equipment. The resolution will be subject to further discussion and debate in Congress before a final decision is reached on whether to disapprove of the Department of Energy's proposed rule.

ho are found to have endorsed or supported a foreign terrorist organization. Specifically, the bill requires institutions of higher education to notify the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) if they become aware of a student with nonimmigrant status under subparagraph (F)(i) or (J) of section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration and Nationality Act who has endorsed or supported a foreign terrorist organization. The purpose of this notification requirement is to ensure that appropriate authorities are made aware of any potential security threats posed by individuals with ties to foreign terrorist organizations who are studying in the United States. By requiring institutions of higher education to report such information to SEVIS, the bill aims to enhance national security efforts and prevent individuals with terrorist affiliations from exploiting the student visa system. In addition to the notification requirement, the bill may also include provisions for other purposes related to addressing the issue of foreign terrorist organization support among students with nonimmigrant status. These additional purposes could include measures to enhance information sharing between institutions of higher education and federal agencies, as well as potential consequences for students found to have ties to foreign terrorist organizations. Overall, Bill 119 hr 2204 seeks to strengthen national security efforts by ensuring that relevant authorities are promptly informed of any instances where students with nonimmigrant status are found to have endorsed or supported foreign terrorist organizations. By requiring institutions of higher education to report such information to SEVIS, the bill aims to prevent potential security threats and protect the safety of the American public.
