What the bill does

Saving Homeowners from Overregulation With Exceptional Rinsing Act or the SHOWER Act This bill provides statutory authority for a revised definition of showerhead for the purpose of federal water efficiency regulations. Specifically, the bill adopts the definition of showerhead established by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The bill also requires the Department of Energy (DOE) to revise existing regulations to reflect the new definition. Executive Order 14264 (titled Maintaining Acceptable Water Pressure in Showerheads and issued on April 9, 2025) directed DOE to rescind its regulatory definition of showerhead. This bill provides statutory authority for a new definition that replaces the rescinded regulations.

About this page

The lobbying table lists Senate LDA quarterly reports (LD-2) that cite this bill by number and cover a quarter of the 119th Congress. An LD-2 names a bill as “H.R. 1234” with no Congress, so a report on another Congress, which can only concern a different bill with the same number, is left out, even when it was filed after this Congress began. The amount is what the registrant reported for the whole filing, across every issue on it, not spending on this bill. Official actions and the bill summary come from Congress.gov, and votes from the roll-call record. This page no longer pairs the bill with members' stock trades: matching lobbying clients to traded companies by name, and trades to a bill by date, is not something the records establish.
