“We’ve seen the tremendous disruption a tool like tariffs can have on retail supply chains. Having Congressional oversight and checks on delegated tariff authority will help inform policymakers on any potential impact, particularly on American consumers and businesses. Retailers thank Representative Stephanie Murphy and Senators Tom Carper and Tim Kaine for introducing this legislation,” said Hun Quach, RILA vice president of international trade.
Companion legislation was introduced by Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Tom Carper (D-DE) in March.
