Bill Summary
A joint resolution 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 Consumer Gas-fired Instantaneous Water Heaters".
AI Summary
This joint resolution pertains to congressional disapproval of a Department of Energy (DOE) rule concerning energy conservation standards for consumer gas-fired instantaneous water heaters. Specifically, the resolution, using procedures outlined in Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code (which governs congressional review of agency rules), formally rejects the DOE's proposed energy efficiency standards for these specific types of water heaters. By passing this resolution, Congress would nullify the rule published in the Federal Register on December 26, 2024, effectively preventing the new energy conservation standards from being implemented. The resolution declares that the rule shall have "no force or effect," which means the existing standards would remain in place, and the proposed new standards would be invalidated.
