This bill lets the President decide that Title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 should no longer apply to Kazakhstan. After that decision, the President may proclaim nondiscriminatory treatment (normal trade relations) for products from Kazakhstan. The bill lists findings saying Kazakhstan allows free emigration, met title IV emigration requirements since 1997, had normal trade relations since 1992, signed a bilateral investment treaty in 1994, and joined the World Trade Organization in 2015. Once the President proclaims nondiscriminatory treatment, title IV would stop applying to Kazakhstan.
If the President makes the determination and proclamation named in the bill, products from Kazakhstan would be covered by nondiscriminatory (normal trade) treatment under U.S. trade rules. The bill changes which part of the Trade Act applies to Kazakhstan after the President acts. The bill text does not itself set specific tariffs, duties, or other trade terms.

The bill's findings say Kazakhstan permits free emigration, has complied with title IV requirements since 1997, previously received normal trade relations, signed a bilateral investment treaty in 1994, and joined the WTO in 2015. Proponents use these findings to support ending application of title IV and extending nondiscriminatory treatment.
