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: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Gas-fired Instantaneous Water Heaters".

This measure would cancel a Department of Energy rule that set new energy-saving standards for gas-fired, tankless (instant) home water heaters. The DOE’s rule aimed for the highest energy efficiency it decided was doable and worth the cost. If this measure becomes law, those amended standards would not go into effect and the rule would be nullified . The resolution specifically targets the DOE rule on energy conservation standards for consumer gas-fired instantaneous water heaters .

• It nullifies the DOE rule submitted on December 26, 2024, which updated efficiency standards for these heaters to achieve maximum practical energy savings .

Key points:

• Who is affected: People and businesses that make, sell, or buy gas-fired tankless water heaters .
• What changes: The DOE’s updated efficiency standards would be canceled; the new rules would not take effect .
• When: Applies if and when this measure becomes law, blocking the DOE rule on these water heaters .
