This legislative proposal, titled the "Affordable Housing Over Mandating Efficiency Standards Act" or "Affordable HOMES Act," aims to prevent the Secretary of Energy from implementing or enforcing energy efficiency standards for manufactured housing. Its primary goal is to remove the regulatory burden associated with these standards, which proponents argue could impact housing affordability. To achieve this, the bill specifically targets and repeals Section 413 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 , which is the statutory basis for the Department of Energy's authority to establish such standards. Furthermore, it explicitly states that the final rule published on May 31, 2022 , concerning "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Manufactured Housing," shall have no force or effect, effectively nullifying the existing regulation.
