To exempt certain home building products from certain tariffs imposed on or after January 20, 2025, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9977, proposes to exempt certain home building products from specific tariffs that would be imposed starting January 20, 2025. If passed, this would benefit companies and individuals involved in the construction industry by potentially lowering costs on materials such as lumber, steel, and other essential products.
The exemption would primarily affect home builders, construction companies, and homeowners who are reliant on these products. By reducing tariffs, the bill aims to lower the cost of these materials, which could lead to more affordable housing and potentially increased construction activity.
As of July 30, 2026, HB9977 has just been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on Rules for further consideration. The bill is in the early stages of the legislative process, and its future actions will depend on the committees' reviews and recommendations.
