This bill would cancel Presidential proclamation 11059 of August 26, 2026, titled "Further Ensuring Affordable Beef for the American consumer" (91 Fed. Reg. 55989). The bill says that proclamation has no force or effect and that no federal funds may be obligated or expended to carry it out. It also would bar the President or any other official from waiving, suspending, or otherwise reducing a tariff, duty, or other fee on beef or beef products imported into the United States unless Congress enacts such a waiver, suspension, or reduction into law or Congress declares a state of emergency with respect to the American domestic beef supply. The bill was introduced on September 2, 2026, by Representative Shomari Figures and was referred to the House Ways and Means and Agriculture committees.
The bill would remove the named Presidential proclamation and stop executive action that would reduce import fees on beef unless Congress approves or declares an emergency. That means the President could not lower tariffs, duties, or other import fees on beef without Congress taking those steps.
No publicly available information on total costs or savings for the federal budget. The bill explicitly prohibits federal funds from being used to implement the canceled proclamation.
