119th Congress (1st) Vote 207 - A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Gas-fired Instantaneous Water Heaters".

Bill 119 hjres 20 is a piece of legislation that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Department of Energy regarding energy conservation standards for consumer gas-fired instantaneous water heaters. The rule in question falls under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, which governs the regulatory process for federal agencies.

The bill seeks to express congressional disapproval of the Department of Energy's rule, which sets energy conservation standards for gas-fired instantaneous water heaters. These standards are intended to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption in households that use these types of water heaters.

If passed, Bill 119 hjres 20 would effectively nullify the Department of Energy's rule and prevent it from being implemented. This would have implications for manufacturers of gas-fired instantaneous water heaters, as they would not be required to comply with the energy conservation standards outlined in the rule. Overall, the bill represents a pushback against government regulations aimed at promoting energy efficiency in consumer appliances. Supporters of the bill argue that it would prevent unnecessary burdens on manufacturers and consumers, while opponents believe that it would hinder efforts to reduce energy consumption and combat climate change.
