US EditionSenate passes bill to repeal Biden-era rule on energy standards for appliances
- The U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan joint resolution on March 5, 2025, repealing a Biden-era energy conservation rule for 20 appliance categories in Washington, D.C.
- This resolution, sponsored by Senator Jon Husted, responds to new certification, labeling, and enforcement requirements issued by the Department of Energy on October 9, 2024, under the Biden administration.
- The measure targets products like dishwashers, clothes washers, central air conditioners, and heat pumps, aiming to reduce regulatory burdens manufacturers face and to restore consumer choice.
- Senator Husted emphasized that his proposal aims to reduce unnecessary regulations affecting manufacturers, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed dedication to removing rules that create excessive and unwarranted obstacles.
- The repeal suggests a rollback of Biden-era green energy regulations, which proponents argue will lower costs and increase appliance affordability, though critics warn it may increase burdens and reduce energy savings.
