Bill overview
This bill, the Payback Act, seeks to refund American consumers who paid higher prices due to tariffs imposed by the executive branch without congressional approval. It argues that these tariffs violated the Constitution’s separation of powers and unfairly burdened consumers. The bill directs the Treasury Department to develop and implement a formula to calculate and distribute refunds to those affected, ensuring transparency and congressional oversight throughout the process.
