The main purpose of this legislation is to require the withdrawal of certain energy efficiency standards for housing that were recently established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA). The goal is to alleviate concerns that these standards may be too burdensome or costly for homeowners and builders. Key provisions of the legislation include a mandate for the HUD and USDA Secretaries to retract a specific final determination regarding energy efficiency standards for new housing construction.
