H.R. 4593 · House bill · 119th Congress
This bill provides statutory authority for a revised definition of showerhead for the purpose of federal water efficiency regulations. Specifically, the bill adopts the definition of showerhead established by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The bill also requires the Department of Energy (DOE) to revise existing regulations to reflect the new definition.
This Act may be cited as the “Saving Homeowners from Overregulation With Exceptional Rinsing Act” or the “SHOWER Act”.
(a) In general.— Section 321(31)(D) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6291(31)(D)) is amended to read as follows:
“(D) The term showerhead has the meaning given such term in ASME A112.18.1–2024, except such term does not include safety shower showerheads.”.
(b) Revisions to regulations.— Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Energy shall promulgate such revisions to regulations as may be necessary to conform such regulations to the definition of showerhead in section 321(31)(D) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended by subsection (a) of this section.
