House
Key Points
- 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.
