What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Banning Antiquated Duties and Delivering Equitable American Levies (BAD DEAL) Act of 2026. It completely gets rid of section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The legislation also cancels any Presidential proclamations that were made using that specific section. Furthermore, the President must provide a refund for any tariffs or other duties that were collected because of those cancelled proclamations.
