Bipartisan, bicameral legislation that U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) introduced synchronizing the implementation of energy conservation requirements for residential ceiling fans to prevent higher consumer costs and market disruption has now been approved by both chambers of Congress and heads to the president’s desk to be signed into law.

The Ceiling Fan Energy Conservation Harmonization Act, S. 2030, passed the U.S. House of Representatives by voice vote on March 19. The U.S. Senate had passed the measure by unanimous consent on Dec. 21, 2017.

Representative Richard Hudson (R., N.C.), the sponsor of the national gun-carry reciprocity bill that passed the House earlier this year, met with the Washington Free Beacon to discuss the various pieces of gun legislation making their way through Congress right now.

WASHINGTON, DC – The House of Representatives today unanimously passed S. 2030, the Ceiling Fan Conservation Harmonization Act by voice vote. Nearly identical legislation authored by Rep. Richard Hudson (H.R. 3477) passed the committee in January.
