In Committee

Summary

Removes federal energy efficiency standards for general service lamps. This bill would convert current mandatory standards into a "Reserved" status under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) and declare the Department of Energy's 2022 and 2024 General Service Lamp rules to have no force or effect.

Show full summary
  • Households: There would be no federal efficiency floor for common light bulbs, so incandescent-style lamps could remain available.
  • Manufacturers and retailers: Lamp makers and sellers would no longer be subject to the DOE definitions and GSL requirements from 2022 and 2024, reducing the specific federal compliance obligations for those products.
  • Federal law and agencies: The bill would strip DOE's regulatory authority over GSL standards and rework EPCA cross references and numbering to remove GSL coverage and preserve internal consistency.

Remove federal rules for household bulbs

If enacted, this bill would remove federal energy-efficiency standards that apply to many general service light bulbs. It would strike the statutory GSL standard language and cancel three Department of Energy final rules. Manufacturers and stores would no longer have those federal compliance obligations. It would take effect upon enactment and could change bulb choices, prices, and household energy use.
