This bill would stop the Department of Energy from enforcing energy efficiency standards for manufactured housing. It would remove section 413 from the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. The bill also says the Department of Energy final rule published on May 31, 2022, titled "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Manufactured Housing," would have no force or effect. The bill is called the "Affordable Housing Over Mandating Efficiency Standards Act" or the "Affordable HOMES Act." It was introduced on September 8, 2025, and referred to committee.
If this bill becomes law, federal authority to set or enforce the named energy-efficiency standards for manufactured homes would be removed, and the specific 2022 DOE rule would be nullified. The bill text does not describe how states, builders, or homeowners must act after the change.
