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.

Key Points

• This is a procedural step that allows the House of Representatives to start debating and voting on two specific energy bills. It sets the rules for the debate, such as how long it will last and who gets to control the discussion.
• The first bill under consideration would stop the Department of Energy from setting new energy-saving rules for appliances unless the technology is already available and the costs are fair for consumers.
• The second bill aims to cancel government programs that give taxpayer-funded help to people who want to switch their homes to electric power, such as installing electric heaters or stoves.
• These measures are part of a larger effort to limit government control over what kinds of appliances people can buy and to reduce federal spending on certain energy programs.
