HJRES 184 United States House · 118th Congress

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 Water Heaters".

This resolution seeks congressional disapproval of a Department of Energy rule that established new energy efficiency standards for consumer water heaters (published in the Federal Register on May 6, 2024). If approved, it would block that rule from taking effect by declaring it "have no force or effect" under federal law. The bill directly targets the specific energy conservation standards for water heaters, not broader policy changes. It is a procedural disapproval measure, not a substantive legislative change.
