A Key Legislative Win on Transformers, WOTUS and Energy Codes
NAHB scored an important legislative trifecta on three key issues — transformers, waters of the United States (WOTUS) and energy codes — when the House on Oct. 26 approved an Energy and Water appropriations bill that would strip funding pertaining to onerous implementation rules dealing with top NAHB priorities.
Prior to the House vote, NAHB sent a letter to lawmakers strongly urging passage of these three components of the spending bill.
