What this bill does

This rule allows House floor consideration of three bills: one redefining showerhead standards, one blocking energy efficiency rules for manufactured housing, and a 2026 appropriations bill.
The bills affect manufacturers and consumers of showerheads and manufactured homes, plus all federal agencies receiving 2026 funding.
The rule sets procedural terms for debate and amendments; the underlying bills' costs and implementation timelines vary.
