Evidence

“An amendment to protect speciality crop growers by authorizing $5 billion in emergency tariff relief from Trump’s illegal tariffs.” Rep. Bynum said she introduced 13 amendments to the Republicans’ Farm Bill, including this tariff-relief proposal.

Bynum publicly advanced the $5 billion emergency tariff relief idea as a Farm Bill amendment, which is a concrete attempt to seek the relief but not proof of enactment.

Amendment 235 by Horsford (NV), Bynum (OR) is listed as “Submitted” and described as inserting text to require CBP to refund tariffs collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

The Rules Committee record shows Bynum’s tariff-refund effort existed as a submitted amendment, but it was not shown as made in order or adopted in the committee process.

“The House passed H.R. 7567... by a yea-and-nay vote of 224 yeas to 200 nays.” The digest lists several adopted amendments, but no Bynum-Horsford tariff-refund amendment among them.

The farm bill moved through the House without any official sign that Bynum’s tariff-relief amendment was enacted, so the request remained unresolved and not delivered in this window.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was to seek $5 billion in emergency tariff relief, not necessarily to enact it. During her same federal House term, Bynum publicly introduced Farm Bill amendments including a $5 billion emergency tariff-relief proposal for specialty crop growers, and the Rules Committee record lists the Horsford-Bynum tariff-refund amendment as submitted. The amendment was not adopted, but the promised action was to pursue the relief, which she did through a concrete legislative amendment.
