## Summary

**This bill would make the Department of Energy put cost, payback time, and factory-fit information front and center before changing energy rules for manufactured homes.** It would also void DOE's May 31, 2022 manufactured-housing energy standard and set specific criteria for any new recommendations sent to HUD. - Families and buyers: Recommendations must estimate how a new standard would affect the initial purchase price and include estimated payback periods, so buyers get clearer cost and savings info. - Manufactured-home producers and factories: New recommendations must account for factory construction techniques, HUD climate zones, and allow alternate methods that achieve equal or better energy performance. - Federal rulemaking and agencies: The bill restores the Energy Secretary's authority to transmit recommendations to HUD, strikes subsection (c) of Section 413 of EISA, and removes the force of DOE's May 31, 2022 final rule.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Manufactured-home energy rules reset and review: mixed, medium. If enacted, the 2022 DOE energy rule for manufactured homes (May 31, 2022; 87 Fed. Reg. 32728) would be void.
