Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to “Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Water Heating Equipment”.
Key claim: A House joint resolution would overturn the Department of Energy’s energy efficiency standards for commercial water heating equipment using the Congressional Review Act.
Abstract
(HJRES218 · 118th Congress) Latest action (2024-11-12): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Why this matters
The resolution targets efficiency requirements that affect commercial water-heater manufacturers and purchasers, with potential implications for equipment compliance costs, operating energy use, and associated emissions. It is only introduced, so it has not itself changed the standards, and the finding provides no quantified cost, energy, or environmental estimates.
