This joint resolution would disapprove and nullify a Department of Energy rule titled "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Refrigerators, Freezers, and Refrigerator-Freezers" (90 Fed. Reg. 7464, January 21, 2025). The resolution states that the listed DOE rule "shall have no force or effect." The resolution was introduced March 27, 2025, and was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Sponsors listed are Ashley Moody, Joni Ernst, and Tom Cotton.
If Congress enacts this resolution, the DOE rule named in the resolution would be invalidated and would not take effect. The rule concerns energy conservation standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers, so the outcome could affect businesses, manufacturers, suppliers, or buyers involved with those types of commercial equipment. The resolution itself does not describe specific changes to products or requirements beyond disapproving the rule.
