This bill orders a federal study on whether tariffs imposed by Executive orders since January 2025 have driven up prices. The U.S. International Trade Commission must report back to Congress within 60 days. No tariffs are changed — it's strictly about getting answers.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Who this affects: This bill primarily affects Congress, which would receive new data about tariff-driven price changes. It also affects the U.S. International Trade Commission and Bureau of Labor Statistics, which must produce the study. Indirectly, it affects every American consumer and business that pays higher prices because of tariffs — the study could inform future policy decisions that change those costs.
Why this matters: Tariffs can raise the cost of imported goods, which ripples through the economy and affects what families pay for groceries, clothing, electronics, and more. Right now, Congress lacks a clear, official analysis of how the recent wave of Executive-order tariffs has affected inflation. This bill would fill that gap with hard data from a trusted federal agency — giving lawmakers (and the public) a factual basis for debating whether these tariffs are worth their cost.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
