LIT Act of 2025

Summary

Removes the federal statutory definition, specific efficiency standards, test procedures, and labeling rules that applied to "general service lamps" (commonly including many incandescent light bulbs), adjusts related cross‑references in the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, and expressly terminates three Department of Energy final rules that implemented standards for those lamps. The changes effectively eliminate the special federal rule set that targeted general service incandescent lamps and reserve the former statutory subsection that established those standards.

• Removes the separate statutory listing and special regulatory treatment of "general service lamps" from the federal energy conservation statute.
• Replaces the prior statutory standards subsection for general service lamps with a reserved placeholder, effectively deleting those standards from the code.
• Deletes specific test-procedure and labeling provisions that applied to general service lamps and simplifies remaining labeling text.
• Updates cross-references and renumbers affected paragraphs throughout the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to reflect deletions.
• Explicitly terminates three Department of Energy final rules issued on general service lamps (including rules from 2022 and 2024).
• Does not create new standards or new regulatory requirements for lighting; it removes an existing, lamp‑specific regulatory scheme.
• Narrows federal statutory requirements affecting manufacturers, retailers, and federal preemption language tied to general service lamps.
• Primarily changes statutory text and regulatory status rather than appropriating money or creating new programs.
