Lesko Introduces Bill to Prevent Higher Costs for Air Conditioners, Heat Pumps, and Furnaces
I introduced the SMART Energy Efficiency Standards Act to amend the date that furnace, central air conditioner, and heat pump manufacturers must comply with regional energy efficiency standards from the date of installation to the date of manufacture. Regional standards created by the Department of Energy set up two different compliance dates, which created unnecessary confusion and burdened distributors, who were left with unusable products. While our nation is facing supply chain and cost of living crises, we should not be making it harder for consumers to obtain appliances. I am introducing this legislation to protect American manufacturers from burdensome regulations and ensure consumers have the appliances they need in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost.
Lesko Introduces Bill to Deter States from Providing Driver's Licenses to Illegal Immigrants
I introduced the Red Light Act to withhold federal highway funds from states that provide driver’s licenses or identification cards to illegal immigrants. Our nation is dealing with the worst border crisis on record, yet some states have refused to address this crisis, and instead have provided illegal immigrants driver’s licenses and identification cards. With this bill, I am working to hold these states accountable for their disregard for our nation’s immigration laws by ensuring that states that ignore our laws are not rewarded with federal funding for highways.
