HR 1615 United States House · 118th Congress

Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act

This bill prohibits the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) from using federal funds to ban gas stoves or impose safety rules that would either prohibit their sale/use or substantially increase their average price (defined as exceeding typical homeowner spending on cooking appliances). It directly affects the CPSC, blocking its ability to regulate gas stoves under the Consumer Product Safety Act. The key mechanism is a funding restriction preventing the CPSC from taking specific regulatory actions on gas stoves. This bill does not change existing stove safety standards but limits future CPSC actions that could impact gas stove availability or cost.
