In a significant legal decision, a federal court has invalidated an energy regulation imposed during the Biden administration, which aimed at enhancing energy efficiency standards for new housing constructed with federal assistance. This ruling followed a lawsuit brought forth by a coalition of 15 states, alongside the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The case took place in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, presided over by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is known for his opposition to many federal regulations.
