Bill > SJRes44

This joint resolution is a congressional mechanism to nullify a specific Department of Energy (DOE) rule related to energy conservation standards for commercial refrigeration equipment. Using the Congressional Review Act (Chapter 8 of Title 5, United States Code), which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn recently issued federal regulations, the resolution formally disapproves the DOE's rule establishing new energy efficiency standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers published in the Federal Register on January 21, 2025. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively invalidate the proposed energy conservation standards, preventing them from being implemented or enforced, thus blocking the regulatory changes that the Department of Energy had originally intended to put into place.
