What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Pink Tariffs Study Act," directs a study regarding how U.S. import tariffs affect different people. The Secretary of the Treasury is required to lead this study in coordination with several trade and customs agencies. The goal is to examine if tariff rates are regressive or show a bias based on gender. It specifically looks at how these costs fall on consumers and how they impact different household types and income levels. The results must be submitted to Congress within one year of the Act being passed.
