RELIEF Act Restoring Economic Lifelines for Independent Enterprises...
To require the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund tariffs collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and for other purposes.
The RELIEF Act, or Restoring Economic Lifelines for Independent Enterprises and Family Businesses Act, proposes to refund tariffs collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. This means that businesses and families who have been charged these tariffs might get their money back. This bill is sponsored by several Democratic representatives, including Steven Horsford as the primary sponsor.
This bill would affect U.S. businesses and families that have paid tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. If passed, it could help these groups by returning the money they paid in tariffs. This could provide financial relief and support to small and independent businesses and families.
As of the last update on February 20, 2026, the bill was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. This means it is in the early stages of the legislative process, and committee members will review it before it can move forward.
