FILE NO. 378

Summary

The law gives the state’s energy commissioner authority to set and update efficiency rules for appliances, plumbing fixtures and other products, and to require manufacturers to certify that their items meet those rules. If the federal Energy Star program is eliminated, the commissioner can endorse a comparable third‑party certification and work with other states on a common label. The standards must promote energy or water savings, be cost‑effective for consumers, and not place an unreasonable burden on businesses.
