What this amendment would do

SA 4370, submitted by Mr. Barrasso, aims to change how energy efficiency standards are handled for housing. It proposes adding a section focused on Energy Efficiency Standards for Housing to bill H.R. 6644.

The amendment intends to:

Require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and the Secretary of Agriculture to withdraw the final determination known as Adoption of Energy Efficiency Standards for New Construction of HUD- and USDA-Financed Housing.
Stop these two secretaries from using Federal funds or taking action to implement that determination or any other that is substantially similar.
Force energy efficiency standards for covered programs to go back to the standards that existed before that final determination.
Prevent the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from using Federal funds or taking action to implement a substantially similar final determination.
Stop the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing any rule or determination regarding energy efficiency standards for multifamily and single housing.
Amend Section 109(d) of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act to include a requirement that not fewer than 26 States have adopted an energy efficiency code or standard that meets or exceeds the requirements of the revised standard or code.
