This act aims to prevent the implementation of energy conservation standards for dishwashers that would be too expensive for consumers or technologically unfeasible. It ensures that future regulations for dishwashers must consider the costs of purchase, installation, and maintenance, to avoid burdening household budgets. The goal is to ensure new dishwashers remain affordable and practical, without unjustified price increases.
