This bill strips the Department of Energy of its power to set energy-efficiency standards for manufactured homes and leaves it only an advisory role. It rewrites Section 413 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 so DOE may only send the Department of Housing and Urban Development recommendations for revising the standards, which HUD sets under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. Any recommendation must rest on a cost-effectiveness finding that weighs life-cycle construction and operating costs, estimate the effect on the purchase price of a manufactured home, and account for factory construction limits, HUD climate zones, alternative ways to reach the same energy performance, and the payback period for any added cost. The bill also voids DOE's May 31, 2022 final rule that set those standards, declaring it has no force or effect.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 10 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 32 quarterly reports filed by 5 lobbying firms and by 7 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: Basf Corporation; American Chemistry Council; Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI); Sierra Club; Lg Electronics USA, Inc. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 5 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
