A bill to require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and the Secretary of Agriculture to withdraw a final determination relating to energy efficiency standards for housing, and for other purposes.

S. 3178 would direct the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and the Secretary of Agriculture to withdraw a final determination regarding energy efficiency standards for housing. If enacted, this bill would reverse or halt the implementation of these energy efficiency requirements that the two departments had finalized. The practical effect would be that homes would not be required to meet the specific energy efficiency standards that these departments had established. This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the Senate and referred to committee, so it has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
