To prohibit the Secretary of Energy from finalizing a proposed rule related to consumer conventional cooking products, and for other purposes.
Summary
H.R. 3818 is a legislative proposal that would prevent the Department of Energy from finalizing or enforcing new energy efficiency standards for residential gas stoves and ovens. The bill specifically targets a 2023 proposed rule that sought to limit the energy consumption of cooking appliances, which critics argued could restrict the types of gas models available to consumers. If enacted, this legislation would ensure that federal agencies cannot implement any similar regulations that would limit consumer access to gas-powered kitchen ranges.
