NO TARIFFS ON GROCERIES ACT

This week a new bill has been introduced meant to make your next trip to the grocery store a little bit cheaper.  It’s called the No Tariffs on Grocery Act.

Many families say food costs are hitting them hard. According to recent data, grocery prices are up, and Michiganders are feeling the pressure.

Congresswoman Haley Stevens is pushing a bill she says will make your next shopping trip cheaper. It's called the No Tariffs Groceries Act.

“My bill is very simple. The No Tariffs on Groceries Act lowers costs. My bill will require Congress to give permission if the president proposes to put tariffs on food, and to stipulate that tariffs cannot go into place without a subsequent act of Congress to improve them.”

Stevens says President Trump's tariff policies have already driven up prices for food like beef, bacon, and coffee. She calls it a matter of fairness.

“While billionaires get a break. Billionaires. Every day people are paying more. Michiganders are paying more. It is not acceptable.”
