What this bill would do
This bill requires the Congressional Budget Office to perform an economic review of any proposed changes to tariffs or duties on imported articles. No modification to these rates can take effect until this review is completed. The required economic review must be published on a publicly available website maintained by the Office. This process applies to any modification relative to the rates in place the day before the Act's enactment.
