HR 32 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

urging the United States Congress to review the efficacy of the tariff policies of earlier presidential administrations, including tariffs implemented during the national emergency declared on April 2, 2025.

This New Hampshire House resolution urges Congress to rescind President Trump's tariffs by terminating the national emergency declared on April 2, 2025, under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). It argues these tariffs have raised costs for essential goods like food, fuel, and housing in New Hampshire while threatening 182,000 jobs tied to international trade. The resolution specifically targets the emergency declaration enabling the tariffs, which the state claims disproportionately impact residents and businesses relying on imports from Canada (e.g., $2 billion annually in goods). It does not create new law but formally requests federal action.

Introduced As Amended by the House · 4 edits
MODERATE
The bill was amended to shift its focus from demanding the immediate rescission of President Trump's 2025 tariffs to a broader review of tariff policies from previous administrations. This change removes specific accusations against the current administration and replaces them with a more neutral inquiry into the effectiveness of past trade measures.
Scope change
The resolution's scope expanded from targeting a single administration's actions to evaluating the efficacy of tariff policies across multiple presidential administrations, including the 2025 emergency declaration.
SCOPE

The primary objective changed from 'rescinding' specific tariffs to 'reviewing the efficacy' of tariff policies from earlier administrations.

The specific demand to terminate the national state of emergency was removed and replaced with a request to review the 2025 IEEPA State of Emergency declaration.

The number of jobs cited as relying on international trade was reduced from 182,000 to over 100,000.

REQUIREMENT

The resolution no longer explicitly urges Congress to oppose future emergency declarations but instead focuses on reviewing past policies.
