What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Uzbekistan Normalized Trade Act," aims to authorize the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment to products from Uzbekistan. It allows the President to determine that Title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 should no longer apply to Uzbekistan. Once that determination is made, the President can proclaim the extension of normal trade relations treatment to those products. This change takes effect once the President certifies that Uzbekistan has become a member of the World Trade Organization through the Marrakesh Agreement.
