A5160 establishes minimum energy and water efficiency standards for a wide-ranging variety of consumer goods, including showerheads and computers.
The General Assembly passed A5160 on May 20, 2021 by a vote of 49 to 25. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill is an attack on consumer choice and the free market in the name of environmentalism. Furthermore, it is an impactful regulation that would regulate a large swath of some of the most commonly used consumer goods, including lamps, faucets, consumer electronics, and toilets.
