Prohibits banning the burning of wood, coal, natural gas, propane, or other fuels for the purposes of cooking or otherwise preparing food
This bill, titled the "Preserving Our Culinary Traditions Act," prohibits bans on burning wood, coal, natural gas, propane, or other fuels specifically for cooking or food preparation. It amends environmental law to exclude such cooking-related fuel use from restrictions imposed under New York's climate law (2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act) and local regulations. The law directly affects restaurants, food vendors, and home cooks who rely on these fuels, ensuring their cooking methods cannot be restricted by climate-related rules. The bill takes immediate effect upon passage.
