 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Amends the Trade Act of 1974 to require that import relief actions recommended by the International Trade Commission (ITC) shall take effect even though the President proposes different actions, unless Congress approves such presidential actions by a joint resolution of both Houses. (Currently, such congressional approval is by concurrent resolution of both Houses and must occur within 90 days of receiving such proposal). Requires the President to impose the action which was recommended by the ITC within 30 days after the day on which either House does not adopt such resolution.
