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.
