The House voted on March 27 to overturn Biden-era regulations setting energy efficiency standards for walk-in fridges, freezers, and coolers.

Five Democrats joined all 209 Republicans as the House voted 214-193 to repeal commercial refrigeration standards imposed in December. The repeal was in accordance with the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to scrap rules submitted within the past 60 legislative days.
