Ending energy efficiency standards for manufactured homes: lower housing costs.

This act aims to reduce the cost of manufactured homes by eliminating energy efficiency standards. This means manufacturers will no longer be required to meet specific standards, potentially leading to lower purchase prices for citizens. As a result, the availability of more affordable housing may increase, but these homes might be less energy-efficient.
Key points
Abolition of mandatory energy efficiency standards for manufactured homes.
Potential reduction in the purchase cost of manufactured homes for citizens.
Repeal of 2007 legislation and the Department of Energy's 2022 rule regarding these standards.
