HR 5917 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.

To authorize the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations treatment) to products of certain countries.
Summary
This bill authorizes the President to extend nondiscriminatory treatment, also known as normal trade relations treatment, to products from most countries by determining that title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 should no longer apply to them. Once such a determination is made and proclaimed by the President, title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 would cease to apply to that country. The legislation applies to all countries except Belarus, Cuba, and North Korea. This effectively allows the President to grant normal trade relations status to additional countries without certain trade restrictions that would otherwise apply under title IV.
