In this subsection: The term China tariff legislation means only a bill of either House of Congress— the title of which is as follows: A bill to set tariff schedules with regards to the People’s Republic of China ; the sole matter after the short title shall be the modifications of tariffs or duties or modification of any duty or staged rate reduction of any duty set forth in Schedule XX, as defined in section 2(5) of that Act ( 19 U.S.C. 3501(5) ), on the People’s Republic of China; and which may not reduce tariffs, duties, or non-tariff barriers on the People’s Republic of China below levels at which such barriers were set as of January 1, 2024.
During the period of two years from the date of enactment of this section, China tariff legislation may be introduced— in the House of Representatives, by the majority leader or the minority leader; or the Chairman or Ranking Member of the Committee on Ways and Means; and in the Senate, by the majority leader (or the majority leader’s designee) or the minority leader (or the minority leader’s designee), or the Chairman or Ranking Member of the Committee on Finance. Notwithstanding Rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, it is in order at any time after the Committee on Finance reports China tariff legislation to the Senate to move to proceed to the consideration of the China tariff legislation, and all points of order against the China tariff legislation (and against consideration of the China tariff legislation) are waived.
The motion to proceed is not debatable. The motion is not subject to a motion to postpone. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not be in order. Appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the application of the rules of the Senate, as the case may be, to the procedure relating to China tariff legislation shall be decided without debate. Debate in the Senate of any veto message with respect to China tariff legislation, including all debatable motions and appeals in connection with the joint resolution, shall be limited to 10 hours, to be equally divided between, and controlled by, the majority leader and the minority leader or their designees.
This subsection is enacted by Congress— as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such is deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, and supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is inconsistent with such rules; and with full recognition of the constitutional right of either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.
