This bill requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and the Secretary of Agriculture to withdraw a specific final determination regarding energy efficiency standards for new construction of HUD- and USDA-financed housing. It explicitly prohibits these agencies from taking any action or using federal funds to implement or enforce this determination or any substantially similar one, mandating a reversion to prior energy efficiency standards. Additionally, the bill extends these restrictions to other federal entities. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs is prohibited from implementing or enforcing similar energy efficiency standards, and the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency is barred from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing any determination or rule related to energy efficiency standards for single and multifamily housing. Finally, the legislation amends the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, adding a new condition for adopting revised energy efficiency codes. This amendment stipulates that such codes can only be adopted if not fewer than 26 States have already adopted an energy efficiency code or standard that meets or exceeds the requirements of the proposed revised federal code or standard.
