Latest action on H.J.Res. 75: Became Public Law No: 119-9.

Who this affects: This law mainly affects businesses that use commercial refrigerators and freezers, such as grocery stores and restaurants. It also affects manufacturers that make this equipment. Those businesses and manufacturers do not have to meet the new standards from the canceled rule. The Department of Energy is also affected because it cannot enforce that rule.

Why this matters: This law changes what businesses and equipment makers must do by removing one new federal efficiency rule. Supporters see that as a way to avoid costs and keep more equipment choices available. Critics see it as a step back from saving electricity and lowering energy demand. The law also matters because it may make it harder for the Department of Energy to issue a very similar rule later.
