Bill Summary
A BILL To define ‘‘showerhead’’ for the purpose of determining the acceptable water pressure for a showerhead, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill addresses the definition of "showerhead" by repealing a more recent Department of Energy (DOE) rule from December 2021 and reinstating a previous DOE rule from December 2020 regarding showerhead regulations. Specifically, the bill nullifies the 2021 rule that likely modified the previous definition and restores the 2020 rule's definition of a showerhead, effectively returning to an earlier standard for determining acceptable water pressure and characteristics of showerheads. The bill appears to be a targeted legislative action to reverse a recent regulatory change, potentially aimed at providing more flexibility or less restrictive standards for showerhead design and water flow. By explicitly stating that the 2020 rule "shall have the force and effect of law," the bill ensures that this specific definition will be legally binding, overriding the subsequent 2021 regulatory modification.
