The GOP-controlled House passed a bill Tuesday that attempt to limit the Energy Department's authority to set or enforce energy conservation standards for clothes washers.  

The measure, Liberty In Laundry Act, now heads to the Democratic-led Senate, which is not expected but it to vote in Congress' lame-duck session, which end with GOP President-elect Donald being sworn in next month. 

The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., said in a statement that he introduced it as part of an ongoing effort to “dismantle the Biden regime’s excessive and unconstitutional regulations on consumer appliances.” 

“I have spent much of my time in Congress fighting back the federal government’s vast overreach into the lives of hardworking Americans," he also said. "In a slew of woke, ‘environmental’ nonsense rule-making attempts by the Biden Administration, the Secretary of Energy issued new standards for clothing washers and dryers in March …. Americans should be able to their laundry in peace without the input of Big Brother."
