Strikes subparagraph (D) of 42 U.S.C. 6834(a)(3) and renders any revised standards established under that subparagraph without force or effect.
Makes multiple deletions in 42 U.S.C. 17092: strikes subsection (c)(1), portions of subsection (c)(6), subsection (e), specified portions of subsection (f)(1) including parts of subparagraph (A), paragraph (2) of subsection (f), and subsection (h).
Strikes the text specified in 42 U.S.C. 17093(a)(1).
This bill would cancel the updated energy-efficiency rules for federal buildings. It says those updated standards no longer count and should be treated as if they never took effect. It also removes related rules in a 2007 energy law, including parts about “high‑performance green” federal buildings and how federal building performance is tracked.
In plain terms, federal agencies would no longer have to follow those newer energy-saving requirements when they build or renovate federal buildings. The older framework would apply instead.
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
