A bill to suspend temporarily the duty on flat panel screen assemblies for use in televisions.

This bill, introduced by Senator Rick Santorum, proposes to temporarily eliminate the import taxes (duties) on flat panel screen assemblies used in the manufacturing of televisions. If passed, this suspension of taxes would remain in effect through December 31, 2008.

For the average consumer, this legislation aims to lower the production costs for television manufacturers operating within the United States. By reducing these costs, the bill is intended to make flat-panel televisions more affordable for the public and support domestic electronics assembly.
