A joint resolution 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".

# Summary of SJRES 50 **What the Bill Would Do:** This joint resolution would reject a Department of Energy rule about energy conservation standards for appliances and equipment. If passed, it would use a congressional disapproval process to overturn the Energy Department's requirements for how manufacturers must certify, label, and enforce compliance with energy efficiency standards for certain consumer products and commercial equipment. **Who It Affects:** The bill would impact appliance and equipment manufacturers, as well as potentially consumers who rely on energy efficiency labels and standards.

The specific products and equipment covered by the DOE rule aren't detailed in the bill's title, but typically include items like refrigerators, air conditioners, and heating systems. **Current Status:** The resolution was introduced by Senator Jon Husted (R-OH) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. No further action has been taken at this time.
