GovInfo bill text lists Marshall, Grassley, Hyde-Smith and Ernst as introducing S.4418; the bill would bar duties on Moroccan phosphate fertilizer and nullify the 2021 order for Morocco.

Grassley cosponsored concrete legislation aimed at the same removal goal. Because the bill was introduced and referred rather than enacted in this record, it is best treated as additional effort, not proof the duties were removed.
