GOP Reps Introduce Bills to ‘Protect Americans’ From Biden Admin’s ‘Egregious Power-Grab’ With Stoves

Two House Republicans are introducing legislation to prevent President Joe Biden’s administration from banning gas stoves.

Reps. Kelly Armstrong (R-N.D.) and Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) introduced two bills meant to “prevent the Biden administration bureaucrats from banning natural gas stoves nationwide.”

Armstrong said, “Inflation is hurting everyone. We have a crisis at our Southern Border. North Dakotans are worried about being able to provide for their families. What is the Biden administration focused on? Controlling the kind of stove Americans use.”

“This is further incompetence from an administration that seems more interested in dictating every aspect of our lives than solving real problems. Our bills make it clear that Americans should decide if a gas stove is right for their families, not the federal government,” he added.

Meanwhile, Lesko argued, “The Biden administration’s extreme proposed regulation that will ban nearly every gas stove on the market is just another example of out-of-touch bureaucrats trying to control Americans’ everyday lives.”

“I am proud to join Congressman Armstrong in introducing these important bills to protect Americans’ consumer choice and stop this egregious power-grab,” she added.

The first bill, the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act, prevents the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) from using federal funds to “regulate gas stoves as a banned hazardous product or impose or enforce any consumer product safety standard on gas stoves that would result in a prohibition on gas stoves or otherwise substantially increase the price.”
