No Tariffs on Groceries Act
Plain Language Summary
# No Tariffs on Groceries Act - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The No Tariffs on Groceries Act would prevent the federal government from imposing tariffs (taxes on imports) on food and grocery items. If passed, basic food products and ingredients could not be subject to new or increased tariffs, protecting consumers from potential price increases at the grocery store. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect American consumers by potentially keeping grocery prices lower, and it would impact food importers and retailers who bring products into the U.S. from other countries.
Food producers might also be affected depending on how tariffs on imported ingredients are handled. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Haley Stevens, a Democrat from Michigan. The bill has not advanced to a vote, so it remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
