The White House said it opposes Republicans' legislation to limit the federal government's ability to regulate natural gas stoves but did not commit to a presidential veto of the two proposals ahead of a House vote on Tuesday.
The Office of Management and Budget said the White House does not support a gas stove ban but announced its opposition to the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act and the Save Our Gas Stoves Act, which would limit the ability of the Department of Energy and the Consumer Product Safety Commission to regulate gas stoves."While the Administration has been clear that it does not support any attempt to ban the use of gas stoves, it strongly opposes H.R. 1615 and H.R. 1640," the OMB said.H.
H.R. 1640, the Save Our Gas Stoves Act, would amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to say that an energy conservation standard for kitchen ranges or ovens"cannot be 'economically justified' if it likely will result in the unavailability in the United States of a type of product based on what type of fuel the product consumes," according to a summary.Both bills advanced through the House Rules Committee on Monday, setting up a full vote before the House.
