The Constituency

H.Res. 1075 · Congress

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4626) to amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to prohibit the Secretary of Energy from prescribing any new or amended energy conservation standard for a product that is not technologically feasible and economically justified, and for other purposes, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4758) to repeal provisions of Public Law 117–169 relating to taxpayer subsidies for home electrification, and for other purposes.

Introduced Feb 24, 2026 · Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.

What does this mean?

This isn't actually a policy change itself — it's a procedural resolution that sets the rules for how the House will debate and vote on two other bills. The first bill would limit the Department of Energy's ability to set new efficiency requirements for household products (like appliances or water heaters) unless the agency can show the technology exists and the cost makes sense. The second bill would eliminate certain funding created by a 2022 law that helps homeowners pay for switching appliances or home systems to run on electricity instead of gas. So this resolution just clears the path for those two underlying bills to come up for a vote in the House; it doesn't change any laws on its own.
