Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program for Appliance Standards: Certification Requirements, Labeling Requirements, and Enforcement Provisions for Certain Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment".

This joint resolution cancels a rule that the Department of Energy published in October 2024. That rule created stricter requirements for how certain appliances and equipment — like washing machines, dishwashers, and commercial air conditioners — must be certified, labeled, and checked for energy efficiency. The rule had updated reporting requirements to match current energy-saving standards and to help the Department of Energy better classify these products. By passing this resolution, Congress would get rid of those updated requirements.
