H.R. 4593: SHOWER Act
Sponsor
Russell Fry
Republican · SC-7
What H.R. 4593 does
H.R. 4593, the SHOWER Act, would write a new definition of showerhead into law for federal water efficiency rules, adopting the definition set by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The Department of Energy would have to revise its existing regulations to match.
An April 2025 executive order, Executive Order 14264, directed the department to rescind its regulatory definition of showerhead. The bill would give statutory authority to a replacement definition.
