Washington, D.C. — On June 23, Rep. Barry Moore voted in support of H.R. 1615, the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act, sponsored by Rep. Kelly Armstrong (R-ND). This legislation states that the Consumer Products Safety Commission cannot use federal funds to regulate gas stoves as a banned hazardous product or to impose or enforce any consumer product safety standards on gas stoves that would result in a prohibition on gas stoves, or otherwise substantially increase the price.

"President Biden and the radical left want to use the bureaucracy to control every aspect of our lives," said Moore. "While Alabamians are worried about putting food on the table for their families in the midst of record inflation, Biden is intent on controlling the stoves they use to cook that food, and all so he can pander to his wealthy environmentalist base. Americans deserve to make appliance purchases without our bloated bureaucracy standing in their way."

Later this week, Congressman Moore will also support H.R. 1640, the Save Our Gas Stoves Act, sponsored by Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ). This legislation would block the Department of Energy from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing its rule titled the “Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Conventional Cooking Products” or introducing an energy conservation standard that would result in the prohibition of a kitchen range or stove based on the type of fuel it uses, including gas stoves.
