This legislative proposal, known as the "Prevent Tariff Abuse Act," seeks to significantly modify the President's powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) . Its primary objective is to explicitly exclude the imposition of duties and various import quotas from the authorities granted to the President during national emergencies. The bill achieves this by amending Section 203 of the IEEPA , adding a new subsection (c). This amendment clarifies that the President's authority under this section does not extend to implementing tariffs, tariff-rate quotas, or any other form of import quotas on goods entering the United States. This change aims to limit the executive branch's ability to use emergency economic powers for trade-related restrictions.
