To prohibit the Secretary of Energy from finalizing a proposed rule related to consumer conventional cooking products, and for other purposes.
HR 3818 blocks the U.S. Department of Energy from finalizing a proposed rule that would set strict energy efficiency standards for gas stoves. Specifically, it prohibits the Secretary of Energy from implementing a rule requiring gas stove tops to consume no more than 1,204 British thermal units annually - a standard that would have excluded 96% of existing gas stoves. This bill directly affects gas stove manufacturers (by preventing sales restrictions) and consumers (by preserving current product choices). The legislation halts the regulatory process for this specific rule without creating new energy standards or altering existing appliance requirements.
