What this bill does
H.R. 9977, the Homebuilding Materials Tariff Relief Act, proposes to exempt certain products used in home construction and furnishing from tariffs imposed on or after January 20, 2025. These "critical homebuilding products" are identified by specific codes in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States.
The bill would generally remove these tariffs unless the President, with Congressional approval via a joint resolution, decides to reimpose them. Reimposition would only be allowed if the Housing Affordability Index maintained by the National Association of Realtors reaches an average of 160 or above for a 12-month period.
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on July 30, 2026, by Representative Donald Beyer. It has been referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on Rules for consideration. The bill's status is "Introduced," meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House or Senate.
