Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
S.J.Res. 44 is a congressional resolution that would disapprove and overturn a Department of Energy rule setting energy efficiency standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers that was published in January 2025. The resolution, introduced by Senators Moody and Ernst, uses the Congressional Review Act process to block the rule from taking effect. If passed by both chambers and signed by the President, the rule would be invalidated and could not be re-issued in substantially the same form without new congressional approval. The legislation does not establish new standards or require specific funding; rather, it seeks to prevent the Energy Department's efficiency standards from becoming enforceable. The resolution was referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for consideration.
