AP reported the House passed Fry's Shower ACT 226-197, but Senate prospects were still uncertain.
Assessments
Fry materially advanced a House bill touching energy-efficiency rules, but the evidence does not show an enacted policy or a concrete energy-independence result. The measure passed the House only, with Senate prospects still uncertain, so the promise was not delivered despite a serious legislative effort.
