About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · September 22, 2023
Referred to the Subcommittee on Energy, Climate and Grid Security.
This joint resolution seeks to reject a Department of Energy rule that establishes new test procedures for measuring the energy efficiency of consumer water heaters and residential-duty commercial water heaters. The rule, published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2023, sets standards for how these appliances must be tested to determine their energy conservation performance. If approved by Congress, this resolution would eliminate the rule entirely, preventing it from taking effect. The resolution was introduced by Representatives Ogles, Perry, and Moolenaar and does not include any new funding or specific implementation timelines, as it is designed simply to block an existing regulation rather than create new programs or spending.
