House Resolution 1075

Summary

Purpose and Intent:
- This House resolution provides for the consideration of two bills related to energy policy and home electrification:
1. H.R. 4626, the Home Appliance Protection and Affordability Act
2. H.R. 4758, the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act

Key Provisions:
- H.R. 4626 would prohibit the Secretary of Energy from prescribing any new or amended energy conservation standards that are not technologically feasible and economically justified.
- H.R. 4758 would repeal provisions of Public Law 117-169 relating to taxpayer subsidies for home electrification.
- The resolution establishes a closed rule for consideration of both bills, waiving all points of order against them.
- The resolution provides for one hour of general debate on each bill, equally divided between the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce.
- The resolution allows for one motion to recommit on each bill.

Impact:
- If passed, this resolution would allow the House to consider and potentially pass the two underlying bills, which would impact federal energy policy and home electrification programs.
- H.R. 4626 could make it more difficult for the Department of Energy to set new energy efficiency standards, while H.R. 4758 would eliminate certain home electrification subsidies.
- The bills could have significant implications for energy costs, technology development, and environmental policy, affecting consumers, manufacturers, and the broader energy sector.
