To prohibit the use of Federal funds to ban gas stoves.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

March 17, 2023

Mr. Armstrong introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce

A BILL

To prohibit the use of Federal funds to ban gas stoves.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act”.

SEC. 2. Definitions.

In this Act:

(1) COMMISSION.—The term “Commission” means the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

(2) GAS STOVE.—The term “gas stove” means any gas range, gas stove, or household cooking gas appliance that meets the standard set forth in American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z21.1/ CSA Z21.1 or any successor standard.

(3) SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE THE AVERAGE PRICE OF GAS STOVES.—The term “substantially increase the average price of gas stoves” means that the average price of a gas stove, annualized over its expected life, would likely be substantially higher than the average spending by United States homeowners on cooking stoves and ovens based on the most recent data for consumer expenditures reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

SEC. 3. Prohibition on CPSC banning gas stoves.

No Federal funds may be used by the Commission to regulate a gas stove as a banned hazardous product under section 8 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2057) or to impose or enforce any consumer product safety standard or rule on gas stoves under section 7 or 9 of such Act (15 U.S.C. 2056 or 2058) that would otherwise result in a prohibition on the use or sale of gas stoves in the United States or would otherwise substantially increase the average price of gas stoves in the United States.
