What this bill does
H.R. 1952, introduced in the 101st Congress by Representative David Price, aims to change how certain fishing nets are treated for import purposes. Specifically, the bill seeks to revert the tariff (tax on imported goods) for hand cast string drawn fishing nets to what it was before the Harmonized Tariff Schedule was put in place. It also proposes to exempt these nets from limits on how many can be imported, which were established under a different law from 1956.
This bill would primarily affect the import of hand cast string drawn fishing nets, potentially making them subject to different import duties and quantities than they are currently. The direct impact on consumers or specific industries, beyond those involved in importing or using these nets, is not detailed in the information provided.
As of the information available, H.R. 1952 was introduced on April 13, 1989, and its latest action is simply "Introduced." The official text of the bill has not yet been published. For the bill to move forward, it would need to be considered by committees, passed by the House of Representatives, and then go through the Senate process for potential enactment into law.
