SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Sale of certain appliances.  Bans the sale or distribution in the Commonwealth, effective July 1, 2011, of any clothes washer, dehumidifier, dishwasher, refrigerator, or room air conditioner that is designed for residential, non-commercial use, which has not been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Department of Energy as meeting or exceeding each such agency's requirements under the federal Energy Star program. The Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services is authorized to adopt regulations to exempt appliances from the ban if it finds that the ban creates a significant hardship on the user or is unreasonable because of the lack of an adequate substitute. A violation is a Class 1 misdemeanor.
