Bill overview
This joint resolution aims to block a rule issued by the Department of Energy (DOE) regarding energy efficiency standards for consumer gas-fired instantaneous water heaters. The DOE rule established new, stricter energy conservation standards for these water heaters. Congress is using the process of congressional disapproval to overturn the DOE’s rule, effectively preventing it from being implemented. This action seeks to maintain the current standards for these appliances.
