This bill repeals the Department of Energy's (1) high-efficiency electric home rebate program for certain electrification projects in low- or moderate-income households, (2) state-based home energy efficiency contractor training grants, and (3) assistance for states and local governments to adopt specified building energy codes. It also rescinds any unobligated balances available for the rebates or adopting the building energy codes. (The unobligated balances for the contractor training grants were previously rescinded by the 2025 reconciliation act.)

During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the purpose of debate only.
Specifically, they imposed costly climate change codes, restricting which appliances families can use to cook their food and heat their homes. The Homeowner Energy Freedom Act would change that. This bill is simple, but its implications are significant.
I missed votes today due to being sick. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 71, YEA on Roll Call No. 72, YEA on Roll Call No. 73, and YEA on Roll Call No. 74.
You have to love these Republicans. I mean, they have no problems with subsidies for Big Oil, Big Tech, Big Ag, or big tax cuts for multimillionaires and billionaires. Yet, when it comes to helping consumers afford electric water heaters or stoves, all of a sudden, they have a big problem.
Sorry, folks, apparently Republicans in Washington don't have time for any of that. They are focused on passing another appliance bill instead--talk about out of touch. This bill repeals and rescinds funding for three important Department of Energy programs.
I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 4758. It is a bill that is going to sock it to the pocketbooks of our hardworking neighbors back home. Republicans appear to be doing everything they can to stick their heads in the sand when it comes to the affordability squeeze.
I urge my colleagues to defeat the previous question and to support my bill, the RELIEF Act. If they vote ``yes'' and deny me the ability to bring forward the RELIEF Act, they are keeping your life more unaffordable.
There is not a shred of difference between Democrats and Republicans on those issues. Why then can we not by unanimous consent say let us fund these agencies through the rest of the year?
I was absent from the floor and missed Roll Call Nos. 71 through 74. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 71, H.R. 6329, YEA on Roll Call No. 72, S. 2503, NAY on Roll Call No. 73, the previous question on H. Res. 1075, and NAY on Roll Call No. 74, adoption of H. Res. 1075.
I was unable to attend the first vote series today due to a delayed flight into Washington, D.C. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 71, YEA on Roll Call No. 72, NAY on Roll Call No. 73, and NAY on Roll Call No. 74.
