Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to "Clean Energy for New Federal Buildings and Major Renovations of Federal Buildings".
HJRES 180 is a congressional disapproval resolution targeting a Department of Energy rule requiring clean energy standards for new federal buildings and major renovations. It seeks to block the rule (published in the Federal Register on May 1, 2024) from taking effect by invoking the Congressional Review Act. If passed, the resolution would nullify the rule’s requirements for federal construction projects, directly affecting agencies responsible for building management. The measure does not create new policy but halts an existing regulatory requirement through a standard congressional review process. This is a procedural vote focused on overturning a specific federal regulation.
