Latest action: Became Public Law No: 119-8.
Signed into law by the President (or passed over a veto). Now public law.
The President signed the bill into law (or Congress overrode a veto). It's now public law and federal agencies will implement it.
Congress rejected new Department of Energy rules about appliance certification and labeling requirements.
The problem
The Department of Energy created new rules requiring appliances to meet certain certification, labeling, and enforcement standards. Some believe these rules are too strict or costly.
The proposal
This bill stops the Department of Energy's new appliance certification, labeling, and enforcement rules from taking effect.
The impact
Appliance manufacturers, retailers, and consumers are affected. Rules on product testing and labels will not change from current standards.
Appliance makers won't have to follow new expensive certification requirements. This could lower costs for manufacturers and potentially reduce prices for consumers.
Companies have fewer new rules to follow. Businesses can focus on other priorities instead of changing their processes.
Existing appliance standards remain in place. Consumers still get product information through current labeling requirements.
Stricter efficiency standards help reduce energy use and pollution. Blocking these rules means appliances might use more electricity. This could increase greenhouse gas emissions.
Less efficient appliances use more electricity, raising utility bills over time. Consumers might pay more money even if appliances cost less upfront.
New labeling rules help consumers understand appliance performance and costs. Blocking them means less information available to shoppers making purchases.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
