Congress is voting on whether to reject two energy efficiency rules from the Department of Energy that would require walk-in coolers, freezers, and commercial refrigeration equipment to meet stricter energy standards, which could increase costs for businesses that use this equipment. The measure also addresses a separate bill requiring colleges and universities to disclose foreign donations and contracts, and prohibiting them from accepting money or partnerships from certain foreign countries deemed security concerns. These votes allow Congress to overturn regulations it disagrees with without needing the President's signature.
