HR 8624 United States House · 118th Congress

HOUSE Act of 2024

The HOUSE Act of 2024 withdraws a federal rule requiring new housing projects financed by HUD and USDA to meet specific energy efficiency standards. It prohibits federal agencies from using funds to implement or enforce this rule or similar rules, mandating a return to the previous energy efficiency standards for these housing programs. The bill also extends these restrictions to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Additionally, it amends a law to allow states with energy efficiency standards meeting or exceeding the previous federal requirements (if at least 26 states have adopted such standards) to be used instead of federal rules.
