HR 1024 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
US-Kazakhstan Trade Modernization Act
To authorize the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations treatment) to the products of Kazakhstan.
Summary
This act authorizes the President to extend nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations treatment) to products of Kazakhstan. The bill removes the application of title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 to Kazakhstan once normal trade relations are extended. The bill notes that Kazakhstan has maintained normal trade relations with the United States since 1992, has been in compliance with emigration freedom requirements since 1997, and is a World Trade Organization member since 2015. Once the President proclaims the extension of normal trade relations, title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 shall cease to apply to Kazakhstan.
