HR 7637

Sponsored by Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R)

Refrigerator Freedom Act

Would have required Energy Department refrigerator efficiency rules to pass three tests on cost and energy savings.

Tradeoff

Would have blocked new refrigerator efficiency rules unless they save significant energy and add no net costs for buyers. It would also have let the government stop enforcing existing rules that fail the same tests.
