How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

Consumers would gain regular information on how new tariffs affect prices they pay. Small businesses could point to official government data on tariff impacts when advocating for policy changes. The politically-named bill signals Democratic opposition to Trump tariff policy. Import-dependent businesses and consumers in affected sectors would have documented evidence of cost increases. Trade policy debates would have more data points, though data interpretation will remain contested.
