“I am proud to stand here and lead this commonsense legislation to reverse the cumbersome Biden-era regulation that we are addressing today. This resolution overturns a Biden-era Department of Energy rule that expands paperwork, testing, and reporting requirements for home and commercial appliance manufacturers, without improving performance standards. In other words, this rule wastes time and money, raising costs without delivering meaningful energy savings on items like dishwashers, clothes washers, and HVAC systems--things that people need to live and thrive every day. These are just everyday products that Ohioans depend on, and this Biden-era overreach makes it harder to afford them and leaves consumers with fewer choices and more costs. While I have been in Washington only a few months, I can see the drag that the inflationary policies of the last administration have had on the American people, and it is my priority to make America and Ohio better places to work, live, and thrive. That is why repeal of unnecessary regulations is so important. This bill contributes to the goal of cutting redtape for manufacturers, which gives consumers more choices and lower costs. This commonsense bill that has earned bipartisan support in the House is ready to be passed in the Senate and sent to the President's desk. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this legislation when we vote today.…”
