S 1593: Small Business Liberation Act

S 1593, the Small Business Liberation Act, exempts small business concerns from import duties imposed under Executive Order 14257 (related to national emergencies). This applies to goods imported by or for small businesses defined by the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632). The bill directly affects small businesses importing goods during declared national emergencies by removing a specific tariff burden. It provides a concrete policy change by excluding qualifying small businesses from duties that would otherwise apply to their imports under the emergency order. The exemption is limited to duties from this specific executive order, not broader tariff policies.

HR 3564, the Nuclear First-Strike Security Act of 2025, requires the President to notify key congressional leaders at least seven days before authorizing a first-use nuclear strike (using nuclear weapons without prior attack on the U.S. or allies). This applies unless the strike occurs under a congressional declaration of war, in response to a nuclear attack on the U.S. or an ally (defined as NATO, Japan, South Korea, or Australia), or during a launch-on-warning scenario. The bill mandates the Secretary of Defense to certify the strike's legality and necessity to congressional leaders before execution.
