Affordable Housing Over Mandating Efficiency Standards Act or the Affordable HOMES Act

This bill rescinds Department of Energy (DOE) energy efficiency regulations applicable to manufactured housing and eliminates DOE’s authority to issue similar regulations.

These recommendations must comply with criteria established by the bill, including by being based on the determination of the cost-effectiveness of such revision.
