Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act

S 240, the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act, prohibits the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSA) from using federal funds to regulate gas stoves as banned hazardous products or to impose safety standards that would ban gas stoves or substantially increase their average price. The bill directly affects the CPSA by blocking its ability to take specific regulatory actions under the Consumer Product Safety Act. Its key mechanism is a funding restriction preventing the agency from enforcing rules that could lead to a ban on gas stoves or significantly raise consumer costs. The bill does not change existing stove safety standards but limits future regulatory options for the CPSA.
