SJRES 4 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution 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 Gas-fired Instantaneous Water Heaters".

This joint resolution would block a Department of Energy rule setting new efficiency standards for gas-fired instant water heaters. The rule, published in the Federal Register on December 26, 2024, would have required manufacturers to produce more energy-efficient models. If passed, the resolution would prevent this rule from taking effect, keeping current efficiency standards in place. The direct impact is on water heater manufacturers and consumers purchasing these products.
