Coalition of attorneys general agitates for Biden administration to kill new washing machine rule
A coalition of 23 state attorneys general, including Florida’s chief legal advisor, is calling on the Biden administration to abandon a new federal rule to improve the efficiency of washing machines.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody and officials from mostly Republican states sent a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on July 3, calling on the Department of Energy (DOE) to either abandon the rule or provide more time for stakeholder comments.
The letter to Granholm acknowledges that an industry group, the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), and environmental advocacy groups had already consented to the rule change, but the attorneys general say, without evidence, that this was the result of “arm-twisting.”
