Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would exempt listed homebuilding products from tariffs imposed on or after January 20, 2025. The products covered are those used to build or furnish single-family homes or multi-family residential buildings, including materials used to make them, that fall under listed tariff codes such as lumber, plywood, cement, stone, tile, and glass. The exemption would not apply to anti-dumping and countervailing duties, safeguard tariffs, or tariffs under a dispute settlement agreement. The President could reimpose an exempted tariff only if a national housing affordability index averages 160 or above for the prior 12 months and Congress passes a joint resolution approving it.
