The House of Representatives will seek to overturn several Biden administration climate regulations limiting consumer choice later this week.
Speaker Mike Johnson is slated to bring two joint resolutions of disapproval to the House floor to repeal green energy standards for home appliances including refrigerators and freezers. The regulations were issued by the Department of Energy (DOE) during the final weeks of President Joe Biden’s term, allowing congressional Republicans to repeal the Biden regulations using the Congressional Review Act (CRA).
“Republicans are getting the country back on track,” GOP House Conference Chair Lisa McClain said at a leadership press conference Tuesday. “House Republicans are securing the border. We are protecting women, and we are passing legislation to lower costs for American families.”
