Became Public Law No: 119-9.
This joint resolution, enacted under the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 8), disapproves and nullifies the Department of Energy rule titled “Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Refrigerators, Freezers, and Refrigerator-Freezers” (90 Fed.
Reg. 7464; Jan 21, 2025).
The resolution states the rule shall have no force or effect.
Narrow, administratively simple measure that can pass if aligned with majority will, but depends on Senate supermajority dynamics and executive approval.

Liberals emphasize climate and long-term energy savings
Likely opposes the resolution because it overturns energy efficiency standards seen as reducing emissions and saving energy.
Views the DOE rule as a public-interest regulation addressing climate and long-term operating costs.
Mixed reaction: supportive of energy efficiency in principle but concerned about rule design, cost estimates, and small business impacts.
Wants clearer evidence, phased implementation, or targeted relief rather than blanket nullification.
Likely supports the resolution as a rollback of federal regulation that imposes costs on businesses.
Views nullification as defending small businesses and limiting administrative overreach.
