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 for Appliance Standards: Certification Requirements, Labeling Requirements, and Enforcement Provisions for Certain Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment".
AI Summary
This bill is a congressional resolution to disapprove a rule proposed by the Department of Energy (DOE) concerning energy conservation standards for appliances. Specifically, the bill targets a DOE rule published in the Federal Register on October 9, 2024, which addresses certification requirements, labeling standards, and enforcement provisions for consumer products and commercial equipment. By passing this resolution under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, Congress would effectively nullify the DOE rule, preventing it from being implemented or having any legal force. This type of legislative action, known as a Congressional Review Act resolution, allows Congress to review and potentially overturn new federal regulations within a specific timeframe, providing a check on executive branch rulemaking and giving lawmakers the ability to block regulations they believe are inappropriate, overreaching, or not in the best interest of the public.
