To prohibit the Secretary of Energy from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing the proposed rule titled "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Clothes Washers".
HR 5411 blocks the Department of Energy from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing a proposed energy efficiency rule for residential clothes washers. The bill specifically targets the "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Clothes Washers" rule (proposed in March 2023). This legislation prevents the rule from moving forward, meaning manufacturers would not be required to meet the new efficiency standards for clothes washers under this specific regulation. The bill directly affects the Department of Energy's regulatory process for appliance energy standards.
