Bill > S1568

This bill, known as the Liberating Incandescent Technology Act of 2025 (LIT Act), aims to modify existing energy efficiency regulations for general service lamps by repealing certain provisions of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. Specifically, the bill removes paragraph 14 from Section 322(a), which relates to general service lamps, and makes corresponding technical amendments to renumber subsequent paragraphs. The bill eliminates existing energy conservation standards for general service lamps, effectively nullifying recent Department of Energy rules from 2022 and 2024 that had imposed stricter efficiency requirements. By striking subsection (i) in Section 325 and removing paragraph (4) from subsection (l), the bill effectively prevents the enforcement of previous regulations that would have restricted the sale of certain types of incandescent lighting. The legislation also removes references to specific lamp efficiency standards in various related sections of the Act, which suggests a broader intent to provide more flexibility in the lighting market and potentially allow for the continued production and sale of traditional incandescent light bulbs that would have been phased out under previous regulations.
