Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
Bill 118 s 1859, also known as the Save Our Gas Stoves Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The bill aims to protect the use of gas stoves in American households by prohibiting any federal regulations that would ban or restrict the use of gas-powered appliances, specifically gas stoves.

The bill argues that gas stoves are an important and reliable source of cooking for many Americans, and that any attempts to limit their use would be an unnecessary intrusion on individual choice and freedom. Proponents of the bill also argue that gas stoves are more affordable and efficient than electric stoves, making them a preferred option for many households.

Opponents of the bill, however, argue that gas stoves contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and that transitioning to electric stoves would help reduce the environmental impact of cooking. They also argue that electric stoves are safer and easier to maintain than gas stoves. Overall, the Save Our Gas Stoves Act is a controversial piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate between the convenience and affordability of gas stoves and the environmental and safety concerns associated with them. It remains to be seen whether the bill will be passed into law.
