The House on Wednesday passed the second of two GOP-led bills to safeguard natural gas stoves and block the Biden administration from imposing regulations or a ban on the popular household cooking appliance.
The measures cleared the Republican-controlled chamber after being placed on the back burner by leadership for a week, as furious hardline conservatives ground floor action to a halt in protest of Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s debt-limit deal with President Biden.
“I never would have thought that I would need to introduce legislation to protect Americans’ kitchen appliances, but this only goes to show how out of touch this administration’s policies have become,” Ms. Lesko said. Still, Senate Energy Committee Chairman Joe Manchin III, West Virginia Democrat, and seven GOP senators introduced the Senate version of Ms. Lesko’s bill on Wednesday.
The Biden administration has repeatedly said neither officials nor the president support outlawing gas stoves. The CPSC also walked back earlier comments by one of its commissioners that a ban was on the table.

Stove wars: Republican-controlled House takes up bills to protect gas stovesThe Republican-controlled House is taking up legislation that GOP lawmakers say would protect gas stoves from over-zealous government regulators. A bill approved Tuesday would prohibit use of federal funds to regulate gas stoves as a hazardous product, while a separate measure would block an Energy Department rule setting stricter energy efficiency standards for stovetops and ovens. Both bills were set for approval last week, but were postponed after House conservatives staged a mini-revolt in retaliation for Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s leadership on a bill to raise the debt ceiling. McCarthy appeared to resolve the dispute Monday. Republicans accuse the Biden administration of overreach. Democrats call the concerns overheated.
