HR 2329 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.
Uzbekistan Normalized Trade Act
To authorize the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations treatment) to products of Uzbekistan.
Summary
This bill authorizes the President to extend normal trade relations (nondiscriminatory treatment) to products of Uzbekistan by determining that Title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 should no longer apply to that country. Title IV contains restrictions on trade with certain nations; removing it would eliminate those restrictions on Uzbek products. The extension would take effect once the President certifies to Congress that Uzbekistan has acceded to and joined the World Trade Organization. The bill effectively removes U.S. trade barriers on Uzbekistan once that WTO membership condition is met.
