Relating to a national emergency by the President on February 1, 2025.

Provisional: our plain-language summary, pending review.

In plain language: This measure cancels the special emergency trade powers and import taxes created under the president's February 1, 2025, executive order. By terminating the declared national emergency, the bill prevents the federal government from enforcing emergency tariffs or redirecting resources authorized under that decree. For businesses and consumers, this removes the threat of emergency import penalties and returns commercial trade to standard rules.
