Stopping a Rogue President on Trade Act

United States · United States Congress · 10 April 2025

Stopping a Rogue President on Trade Act This bill terminates specified executive orders imposing duties (i.e., tariffs) on certain imports into the United States. It also requires the President to receive congressional approval in order to take certain trade actions. Specifically, the bill terminates duties imposed under the following executive orders (or any executive orders that are substantially similar to these executive orders): Executive Order 14257 , which imposed a 10% tariff on most imports to the United States and additional duties on specified trading partners; Executive Order 14193 , which imposed a 25% tariff on most imports from Canada (except for Canadian energy or energy resources, which have a 10% tariff); and Executive Order 14194 , which imposed a 25% tariff on most imports from Mexico. Additionally, the bill prohibits the President from imposing or increasing a duty, quota, or tariff-rate quota on imports entering the United States, or preventing the application of trade agreement concessions on imports, unless a joint resolution of approval is enacted into law. The bill provides exclusions from this congressional approval requirement, such as imposing antidumping and countervailing duties under the Tariff Act of 1930. (Antidumping laws provide relief to U.S industries and workers that are materially injured or threatened with injury due to imports of like products sold in the U.S. market at less than fair value, while countervailing duty laws provide such relief from imports of products subsidized by a foreign government or public entity.)

America's First Fuels Act

United States · United States Congress · 8 April 2025

America's First Fuels Act This bill increases the federal energy efficient home improvement tax credit amount allowed for installing a biomass stove or biomass boiler in a principal residence. The bill also establishes a new federal tax credit (as part of the general business tax credit) for investments in open-loop biomass heating property. Specifically, the bill increases to $10,000 the annual maximum amount of the energy efficient home improvement tax credit allowed for installing a biomass stove or biomass boiler in a principal residence. (Under current law, taxpayers may claim a tax credit of 30% of the cost, up to an annual maximum of $2,000, to install a biomass stove, a biomass boiler, or certain other energy-efficient property in a principal residence.) The bill also establishes a new business tax credit for 30% of the cost of any property which (1) uses open-loop biomass to produce thermal energy in the form of heat, hot water, hot air, or steam; and (2) is used for space heating, air conditioning, domestic hot water, or industrial process heat (or any combination of such uses). (Conditions apply.) However, the tax credit is reduced for open-loop biomass heating property financed with tax-exempt bonds. Finally, under the bill, businesses may elect to claim the tax credit for qualified open-loop biomass heating property progress expenses (expenses incurred in advance of placing such property in service) if the normal construction period for such property is two years or more and certain other conditions are met.
