Bill Summary: HR 1640 - Save Our Gas Stoves Act

The Save Our Gas Stoves Act (HR 1640) aims to protect the use of gas stoves in residential settings by prohibiting federal agencies from implementing regulations that would ban or restrict their use. The bill specifically targets any actions by the Department of Energy (DOE) or other federal entities that could lead to the elimination of gas stoves, ensuring that consumers retain the choice to use this cooking method.

Funding/Authorities: The bill does not allocate specific funding but asserts congressional authority over energy policy, particularly regarding consumer appliances. It emphasizes the need for federal agencies to respect consumer preferences and market choices without imposing restrictive regulations.

Programs or Agencies Affected: The primary agency affected by this legislation is the Department of Energy, which has been involved in discussions regarding energy efficiency standards for appliances, including gas stoves. The bill seeks to limit the DOE’s ability to impose regulations that could lead to a phasedown or ban on gas stoves.

Beneficiaries and Regulation: The primary beneficiaries of the Save Our Gas Stoves Act are homeowners and consumers who prefer gas stoves for cooking. The bill also supports manufacturers and retailers of gas cooking appliances by safeguarding their market from potential federal restrictions. By preventing regulatory actions, the bill aims to maintain consumer choice and promote the continued use of gas stoves in American households.

Key Timelines: Following its introduction, HR 1640 was received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The timeline for further action will depend on the committee’s review and any subsequent discussions or votes in the Senate.

In summary, HR 1640 seeks to ensure that gas stoves remain a viable option for consumers by limiting federal regulatory authority over their use.
