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 regulation that establishes new energy efficiency standards for consumer water heaters. The rule, published in May 2024, would require water heaters to meet stricter energy conservation requirements. If passed, this resolution would nullify the regulation and prevent it from taking effect. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to disapprove federal agency rules within a specific timeframe. No new funding or implementation timeline is involved, as the purpose is to block an existing regulation rather than create new programs.
