Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Requires sellers to display, clearly and conspicuously to U.S. consumers, the portion of a good's price attributable to a “covered tariff” (labeled a "tariff surcharge"). Exempts small businesses, gives the Federal Trade Commission rulemaking and enforcement authority treating violations as unfair or deceptive acts, and applies to tariffs imposed by the President on an emergency or other discretionary basis entering into force on or after January 20, 2025.
Liberals emphasize consumer transparency and policy accountability.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill establishes a clear statutory obligation for sellers to disclose tariff-attributable price components and ties enforcement to the FTC, but it leaves key operational specifics and resource considerations to agency rulemaking or unaddressed.

Likely supportive because the bill advances consumer transparency and accountability for tariff-driven price increases.
May view the measure as a modest, targeted reform to expose who bears tariff costs and to pressure policymakers to justify costly tariffs.
Generally favorable to the transparency principle but cautious about implementation details and compliance costs.
Will want clear, administrable rules from the FTC and evidence that benefits outweigh burdens.
Likely skeptical or opposed, viewing the bill as an effort to stigmatize tariffs and expand regulatory burden on sellers.
