Saving Homeowners From Overregulation with Exceptional Rinsing Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the SHOWER Act, led by the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Fry).

Over the last several years, Americans have seen firsthand what happens when a radical regulatory agenda takes over Washington. The previous administration, it is sad to say, inserted itself into nearly every aspect of American life, raising costs and imposing rules that made no sense for American families.

One of the clearest examples is what they did, believe it or not, to our showers. They twisted the law to claim--you can't make this stuff up--that the 2.5-gallon-per-minute standard applied to the entire shower system instead of just each individual showerhead. You can't make this stuff up. Quite frankly, I think they were all wet. The result was weaker water pressure and daily frustration for homeowners, all in the name of government control.

For a year now, this Congress has worked to reverse the damage left behind by previous administrations, Mr. Speaker. The SHOWER Act is simply another step in that effort. It locks in the law's original intent and ensures that future leftist administrations cannot weaponize regulations against everyday Americans again.

This bill is one of many we must pass, Mr. Speaker, to reverse the harm already done and restore America to the one we once knew. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the SHOWER Act.
