Law

Congress would cancel a newer Energy Department rule that defined what counts as a “showerhead.”
It would bring back an older Energy Department definition and make that older definition the law.
This could change how “multi-nozzle” shower fixtures are counted for water pressure limits, which may affect what showerheads companies can sell.
If it becomes law, the Energy Department would have to follow the older definition when enforcing showerhead water rules.
