About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · July 11, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This joint resolution seeks to overturn a Department of Energy rule that sets energy efficiency standards for circulator pumps, which are devices used in heating and cooling systems. The rule, finalized by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in May 2024, would require circulator pumps to meet higher energy conservation standards. If passed, this resolution would invalidate the rule entirely and prevent it from taking effect. The legislation uses the Congressional Review Act, a mechanism that allows Congress to disapprove federal regulations within a certain timeframe. The resolution affects manufacturers and users of circulator pumps, as well as consumers who could have benefited from reduced energy costs through more efficient equipment.
