Limits duties on school supplies and educational materials to reduce costs for students and schools.
The Back-to-School Supplies Affordability Act aims to limit the duties imposed on school supplies and educational materials. It exempts certain items from duties if they are used in elementary or secondary school classrooms. The Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Secretary of Education, designates these items. The bill also requires the Secretary of Commerce to submit reports to Congress every 180 days listing items exempt from duties and those newly designated.
