Plain Language Summary

# Leveling the Playing Field 2.0 Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Leveling the Playing Field 2.0 Act is designed to address trade imbalances and competitiveness concerns involving the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Based on its listed subjects, the bill would likely modify how the U.S. handles trade agreements, tariffs, and customs enforcement with these neighboring countries. It appears to focus on investigating and responding to unfair trade practices, currency manipulation, and fraud related to international trade. **Who It Affects** This legislation would impact American businesses that compete with Canadian and Mexican imports, U.S.

importers and exporters, and potentially consumers who buy imported goods. It may also affect government agencies responsible for enforcing trade laws and negotiating trade agreements. **Current Status** The bill (S 691) was introduced in the 119th Congress by Senator Todd Young (R-IN) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. The specific provisions and detailed mechanisms of the bill are still being developed in committee. *Note: Without access to the full bill text, this summary is based on the subjects listed.
