Burgess Amendment Would Bar Enforcement Of Light Bulb Energy Efficiency Standards

摘要

The Department of Energy would effectively be barred from enforcing energy efficiency standards for light bulbs under a measure that Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas) confirmed May 7 he plans to introduce as an amendment to an upcoming House appropriations bill. The amendment, which would be offered to the pending fiscal year 2013 House Energy and Water Appropriations Bill, is expected to continue previously passed efforts to bar the use of funds to enforce light bulb efficiency standards.
