S. 333 was introduced by Sen. Sheehy with Sen. Justice listed among the cosponsors and was "read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources." The bill would repeal IRA sections 50122, 50123, and 50131.
Assessments
Justice cosponsored S.333, the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act, which directly sought to repeal the relevant Inflation Reduction Act provisions including the building energy code adoption aid. However, the Senate bill remained at introduction/committee referral, and the House-passed parallel bill had not become law, so the promised repeal was not delivered. This qualifies as a serious same-term legislative attempt but not fulfillment.
Justice publicly cosponsored the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act in the Senate, and that bill was introduced to repeal the IRA provisions tied to state and local energy-code adoption. But the official bill status shows only introduction and committee referral, and the repeal has not become law. The House passed a parallel bill, but without Senate enactment the promised repeal was not delivered.
Sen. Justice cosponsored the Senate bill S.333 (Homeowner Energy Freedom Act) introduced Jan 30, 2025, which explicitly would repeal IRA sections (50122, 50123, 50131) linked to home rebates and support for adoption of updated building energy codes, and his office issued a press release describing this cosponsorship. However, there is no evidence these provisions were repealed or that the bill became law; other related repeal proposals and draft bills were discussed but not enacted. Thus the campaign promise was not fulfilled, though Justice made a direct legislative attempt (cosponsorship).
