LIT Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Goldman, Craig A. [R-TX-12]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would roll back federal efficiency rules for general service lamps. It would overturn recent Department of Energy standards for light bulbs and preserve earlier product classifications for incandescent and related lamp technologies.

Show full summary
  • Households: Would preserve earlier classifications for incandescent and related lamps, changing which bulbs must meet federal efficiency standards. That means the newer DOE requirements would no longer apply to those general service lamps referenced in the law.
  • Manufacturers and retailers: Terminates three DOE rules published in 2022 and 2024, removing the specific definitions and energy standards those rules set. That ends the compliance obligations created by those rulemakings for making and selling affected lamps.
  • Regulatory framework: Rewrites and renumbers multiple parts of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. It strikes specific provisions including Section 325(i) and 325(l)(4), adjusts cross references across Sections 321, 323, 324, 325, 327, and 334, and thereby disables the existing statutory standard for general service lamps.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Scale back light bulb efficiency rules

If enacted, this bill would remove the federal efficiency standard for common light bulbs. It would set EPCA section 325(i) to “Reserved” and strike a related clause in 325(l). It would also void three DOE lamp rules: 87 Fed. Reg. 27439 (May 9, 2022), 87 Fed. Reg. 27461 (May 9, 2022), and 89 Fed. Reg. 28856 (Apr. 19, 2024). Manufacturers and retailers would face fewer compliance rules. Households could see more incandescent options, changing bulb prices and energy use. The changes would take effect upon enactment.

Technical edits to lamp rules

If enacted, this bill would update energy law text after the bulb standard rollback. It would renumber product lists, fix cross-references, and remove some limit phrases on DOE rulemaking. It would also delete a sentence about noncompliant general service incandescent lamps. These edits mainly affect DOE and lamp makers and are unlikely to change household bills directly. The changes would take effect upon enactment.
