US-Kazakhstan Trade Modernization Act
Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
<p><strong>US-Kazakhstan Trade Modernization Act</strong></p><p>This bill addresses trade between the United States and Kazakhstan. </p><p>Specifically, the bill authorizes the President to determine that Section 402 of the Trade Act of 1974 (commonly known as the Jackson-Vanik amendment) does not apply to Kazakhstan. The Jackson-Vanik amendment denies normal trade relations (NTR) status to some current and former nonmarket economy countries unless they comply with certain freedom-of-emigration requirements.
The main political fault lines are not fully surfaced yet, so coalition durability is still unclear.
The next hurdle is converting committee movement into a floor coalition.
