About This Bill

Latest Action · November 12, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This joint resolution would reject a Department of Energy rule that sets energy efficiency standards for commercial water heating equipment, which the agency finalized in October 2023. The disapproval would use Congress's authority under federal law to overturn regulations, making the Department of Energy's new efficiency standards null and void. The rule would have affected manufacturers of commercial water heaters and the businesses and facilities that use this equipment. No specific funding or timeline is mentioned in the resolution, as it simply seeks to nullify an existing regulation. If passed and signed into law, the resolution would eliminate the energy conservation standards that the Department of Energy had established for this category of commercial equipment.
