S 1293 United States Senate · 119th Congress

No Taxation Without Representation Act of 2025

The No Taxation Without Representation Act of 2025 requires the President to obtain Congressional approval before imposing new import duties on foreign goods. Specifically, the President must submit a proposal to Congress with a rationale for the duty, and Congress must pass a joint resolution approving it. This applies to duties under key trade laws, including the Tariff Act of 1930 and the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, but excludes complete import embargoes. The bill shifts authority from the executive branch to Congress for decisions affecting import taxes.
