Bill Summary

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 Walk-In Coolers and Walk-In Freezers".

AI Summary

This joint resolution aims to disapprove a rule issued by the Department of Energy (DOE) regarding energy conservation standards for walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers. Specifically, the resolution targets a rule published in the Federal Register on December 23, 2024, which established new energy efficiency standards for these commercial cooling appliances. By invoking the Congressional Review Act (Chapter 8 of Title 5, United States Code), Congress is seeking to nullify the DOE's rule, effectively preventing it from being implemented. If passed, this resolution would mean that the proposed energy conservation standards would be considered void and would have no legal force or effect. Such a move is not uncommon, as Congress can use this legislative tool to block federal agency rules that they believe are inappropriate, overreaching, or potentially harmful to businesses or industries.
