This measure sets the terms for the House to debate and vote on three items: two efforts to block recent Department of Energy rules on commercial refrigeration equipment, and a separate college policy bill about foreign funding and contracts. In plain terms, it opens the door for votes to stop new energy efficiency standards for walk‑in coolers/freezers and for commercial refrigerators and freezers, and to take up a bill that would toughen how colleges report foreign gifts and contracts and bar deals with certain foreign entities and countries of concern .

Key points

Who is affected: Businesses that use commercial refrigeration equipment; colleges and universities; and indirectly, students and customers who rely on these institutions .
What changes: Allows House votes to block specific federal energy efficiency rules and to consider a bill that increases foreign funding transparency at colleges and restricts certain foreign ties .
When: Applies to the House’s consideration and votes set around late March 2025 .
