AI Summary This summary was generated by AI from the bill text. AI can get information wrong.

This joint resolution would cancel a Department of Energy rule that set new energy-saving standards for consumer gas-fired instantaneous water heaters. If Congress approves the resolution, the rule would be treated as having no legal effect, meaning the Department of Energy could not enforce those standards.

  • The resolution uses a congressional review process that lets Congress reject a federal rule after it is issued.
  • The rule being rejected was published in the Federal Register on December 26, 2024.
  • If the resolution becomes law, the energy efficiency standards in that rule would not take effect.
