Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
This bill nullifies Presidential Proclamation 11012 (Feb 20, 2026) and any substantially similar proclamation imposing a temporary import surcharge.
It bars federal funds from implementing such a proclamation and directs the President to refund tariffs or duties collected between February 20, 2026 and enactment of this Act.
Narrow and clear but reverses executive trade action and mandates retroactive refunds—likely to face political opposition, procedural hurdles, and possible veto.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill succinctly and directly accomplishes a narrow substantive objective—nullifying a specific Presidential Proclamation and directing refund of duties collected under it—but it is lean on implementation details that would be necessary to operationalize that objective.

Likely supportive.
The bill rescinds a presidential import surcharge, protects consumers from tariff-driven price increases, and reasserts Congressional control over trade measures.
It also requires refunds for duties already collected.
Cautiously favorable but concerned.
The bill corrects a unilateral surcharge but raises questions about removing executive flexibility.
Centrists will want clear procedures, cost estimates, and replacement tools through legislative process.
Likely opposed.
The bill removes an executive economic tool used to address international payments or currency issues and mandates refunds, which conservatives view as undermining leverage and encouraging foreign noncompliance.
