Changes to federal light bulb rules
If enacted, this bill would rewrite which light bulbs federal rules cover. It would remove and renumber several statutory lamp categories and reserve a key lamp standard subsection. It would strike one statutory lamp standard paragraph and delete another. It would also say three DOE rules (May 9, 2022 and April 19, 2024 rules) have no force or effect and would change wording that guides DOE rulemaking. Manufacturers and stores could face fewer federal requirements. Households could see different lamp availability, prices, and energy-efficiency rules.
