This bill would block the Department of Energy from finalizing or enforcing a proposed rule that would set energy efficiency standards for ceiling fans. The legislation specifically prohibits the agency from moving forward with a rule published in June 2023 that aimed to improve how much energy ceiling fans consume, and it also prevents the department from issuing any similar future regulations on the same topic. The bill is designed to protect small ceiling fan manufacturers from what its sponsors view as burdensome federal regulations, though it does not include any funding provisions or specific timelines beyond preventing implementation of the existing proposal. The measure was introduced in December 2023 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
