What it means
Orders the Secretary of Energy to repeal the 2021 regulation defining "showerhead" within 30 days, without requiring public comment. The order characterizes the regulation as unnecessary overreach by previous administrations that stifles freedom.
Expected impact
- Higher water pressure in showers as manufacturers will have more flexibility in showerhead design without the previous restrictions
- Potential increase in water consumption in American households
- Possible criticism from environmental groups concerned about water conservation
- Support from those who view this as reducing government overreach in daily life
- Manufacturers may adjust product lines to offer higher-flow showerhead options
