Stevens Introduces Bill to Refund Michiganders for Trump’s Illegal Tariffs | 2026-07-21 | 2026 | 2026-07 | Democrat | House | MI | Haley M. Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – In case you missed it, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens introduced a bill to refund Michigan families up to $1700 for skyrocketing prices caused by Trump’s erratic and illegal tariffs. While the Supreme Court blocked Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose sweeping tariffs on American allies, individual families haven’t gotten the relief they’re owed. Rep. Stevens is leading the charge to stand up to Trump’s reckless trade wars and bring down costs for Michiganders who have been feeling the squeeze from his policies for the past year. Here’s what Michiganders are seeing about Rep. Haley Stevens fight to lower costs for Michigan families: Deadline Detroit: Haley Stevens Introducing Tariff Legislation That Would Result in Rebate Checks For Households By: Allan Lengel Michigan Congress member Haley Stevens is introducing legislation Thursday that would direct the Treasury Department to send rebate checks of up to $1,700 to eligible households to offset the estimated $231 billion Americans paid because of President Donald Trump's tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). While some businesses have received tariff refunds, American families who absorbed higher prices on everything from groceries to manufacturing inputs have received nothing, the release said. "Donald Trump's tariffs have cost Michiganders in every aspect of their lives, from groceries to school supplies to home appliances," said Stevens, a U.S. Senate candidate, in a statement. "We must lower costs for hardworking families and give them relief from Trump's out-of-control economy." The Briefing with Steve Scully: Rep Haley Stevens (D-MI) on Her Tariff Refund Legislation With: Steve Scully “The bill refunds the estimated tariff revenue collected from these illegal tariffs through direct payments.” “The goal is for meaningful relief from higher costs that families have been forced to pay over the last year as a result of Trump’s chaos.” “I think this is owed to the American people and to the people of Michigan.” ### | 1 | 2026-07-22T07:34:13Z | 2026-07-22T07:35:16Z |
