WASHINGTON, D.C. — Last week, President Donald J. Trump signed Congressman Andrew Clyde’s (GA-09) Congressional Review Act (CRA) joint resolution of disapproval, H.J.Res. 42, into law. The measure rescinds burdensome Biden-era regulations on household appliances and consumer products.
“I’m deeply thankful to President Trump for signing my commonsense legislation into law,” said Clyde. “By overturning these burdensome Biden-era regulations, we are protecting both consumer choice and industry innovation — marking an exciting legislative victory for the American people. I remain committed to working with the Trump Administration to continue removing red tape on manufacturers and lowering costs for hardworking Americans.”
Background
On October 9th, 2024, the Biden-Harris Department of Energy finalized certification, labeling, and enforcement provisions for various consumer products and commercial equipment. The rule, entitled “Energy Conservation Program for Appliance Standards: Certification Requirements, Labeling Requirements, and Enforcement Provisions for Certain Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment,” amended or created new requirements for 20 different products, including dishwashers, central AC and heat pumps, clothes washers, and more.
On March 3rd, 2025, the Office of Management and Budget issued a Statement of Administration Policy in support of H.J.Res. 42.
On May 9th, 2025, President Trump signed H.J. Res. 20, H.J. Res. 24, H.J. Res. 42, and H.J. Res.75 into law, rolling back harmful regulations that the Biden-Harris Administration placed on small businesses, manufacturers, and American families.
H.J.Res. 42 marks Rep. Clyde’s first bill signed into law in the 119th Congress and his second piece of legislation to become law during his time in Congress.
