S. 3103 — A bill to authorize the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations treatment) to products of certain countries.

This section authorizes the President to determine that title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 (i.e., annual waiver requirements for extending normal trade relations to non-market economy countries) no longer applies to a covered country and, upon such determination, to proclaim nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations) for that country's products. (As background, title IV, enacted as the Jackson-Vanik amendment, requires the President to annually certify that beneficiary countries do not impede emigration rights before extending such treatment.) On the effective date of the proclamation, title IV ceases to apply to the covered country, defined as any country other than Belarus, Cuba, or North Korea. (Thus, covered countries receive permanent normal trade relations without annual renewal.)
