OCED Elimination Act

This proposal would shut down the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations inside the Department of Energy. It also cancels the part of existing law that set up that office in the first place (Section 41201 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, listed at 42 U.S.C. 18861).

The text does not explain what happens to any programs or staff from that office. It simply says the office “is hereby abolished” and repeals the related law. If passed, these changes would take effect when the bill becomes law.

• Who is affected: The Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations.
• What changes: The office would be eliminated, and the law that created it would be repealed (42 U.S.C. 18861).
• When: Upon enactment into law (no separate effective date is given).
