  • The "Liberty in Laundry Act," introduced by Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., will seek to block the Biden administration's new energy standards for clothing washers.

The House of Representatives is set to vote on a bill that would repeal new energy efficiency standards for washing machines proposed by the Biden administration. These standards, set by the Department of Energy, aim to reduce water and energy consumption but have been criticized by some Republicans for potentially increasing costs for consumers and reducing the effectiveness of the appliances. Critics argue that the new regulations could lead to longer wash times, less effective cleaning, and higher initial costs for machines that meet the new standards. The legislation, backed by House Republicans, seeks to block these regulations, arguing that they represent government overreach and could negatively impact American households. The vote reflects ongoing debates about environmental regulations versus consumer choice and economic considerations.
