I’m proud to work with my colleagues to introduce the aptly named BAD DEAL Act to repeal this outdated tariff authority AND refund the tariff duties paid. We will continue fighting to rein in Trump’s costly tariffs and reassert Congress’ authority before his on-again, off-again trade policy damages our international relationships for years to come.

Schneider committed to the BAD DEAL Act's goals of repealing Section 338 tariff authority, refunding paid tariff duties, and continuing to fight to rein in tariffs and restore Congress's trade authority.

Schneider's office said he introduced the BAD DEAL Act to repeal Section 338 and refund duties paid under that authority.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Concrete action: Schneider introduced House legislation matching the pledge's repeal and refund components and publicly framed it as rein-in-tariffs, reassert-Congress action. This is serious effort but not final enactment.

The tracker lists H.R. 10175 as introduced on August 27, referred to Ways and Means, with no recorded votes.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Latest available bill-status evidence in the lookback window shows the measure remained in committee and had not passed the House, Senate, or become law; repeal and refunds were therefore not delivered by August 31, 2026.

Schneider materially advanced legislation matching the pledge by introducing the BAD DEAL Act in the 119th Congress to repeal Section 338, nullify Section 338 tariff actions, and refund duties paid under that authority. However, as of August 31, 2026, the bill had only been introduced and referred to the House Ways and Means Committee, with no House passage, Senate passage, enactment, repeal, or refunds delivered. That is a serious same-term legislative effort, but the promised policy outcome was not fulfilled.
