Brady Unveils New MTB Plan; Claims Compliance With GOP Earmark Ban

摘要

The office of House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) has provided Republican committee members with a confidential new "plan" for developing miscellaneous tariff bills (MTBs) that aims to overcome the charge that they run afoul of the House Republican earmark ban, according to a copy obtained by Inside U.S. Trade. The link between MTBs and earmarks has thwarted the passage of such a bill since 2010.
