HR 5654 United States House · 118th Congress

Hot Showers Act

HR 5654, the "Hot Showers Act," directs the Secretary of Energy to withdraw a specific proposed rule on water heater energy efficiency standards. The bill mandates the withdrawal of the "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Water Heaters" rule (88 Fed. Reg. 49058, July 28, 2023), and prohibits the Department of Energy from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing that rule or any substantially similar rule. This action directly affects the Department of Energy and manufacturers of consumer water heaters by halting the proposed efficiency standards. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on withdrawing the rule without creating new policy.
