H.R. 5184: Affordable HOMES Act
Sponsor
Erin Houchin
Republican · IN-9
What H.R. 5184 does
H.R. 5184, the Affordable HOMES Act, would cancel Department of Energy energy efficiency rules for manufactured housing and end the department's authority to issue similar ones. It would rescind the final rule on energy conservation standards for manufactured housing published on May 31, 2022.
The department could still send recommendations on revised energy conservation standards for manufactured housing to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Those recommendations would have to meet criteria set by the bill, including being based on a determination of cost-effectiveness.
