✆
In plain English

Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) introduced this joint resolution to block a Department of Energy rule issued in October 2024 that changed how appliances and commercial equipment are certified, labeled, and enforced for energy efficiency. The rule modified certification and labeling requirements for consumer products like washing machines and dishwashers, as well as industrial equipment like computer room air conditioners, to align reporting with current energy standards and test procedures and give DOE the information needed to classify products for applying standards.
