1. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) There has been increasing momentum at the local, State, and Federal level across the United States to disincentivize and forbid the use of natural gas stoves thereby curbing consumer choice, crippling manufacturers, and increasing energy prices. (2) On February 1, 2023, the Department of Energy initiated a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and published a Technical Support Document, which would establish maximum energy consumption standards annually for gas stove tops thereby barring manufacturers from selling gas stoves which consume over 1,204 British thermal units annually. (3) In the Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and the Technical Support Document, the Department of Energy estimated only four percent of gas stove tops on the market met the proposed maximum rate of 1,204 British thermal units annually which would exclude 96 percent of gas stoves. (4) Shortly thereafter, on March 7, 2023, the Consumer Product Safety Commission published a notice to request information on chronic health hazards associated with gas stove ranges. (5) On March 20, 2023, in response to these ongoing efforts to ban the purchase and usage of natural gas stoves, 75 Members of Congress joined together and sent a letter to Secretary Granholm at the Department of Energy expressing significant concerns with the Department of Energy’s proposed rule and expressing opposition to the finalization of the proposed rule. (6) In early May 2023, New York approved a fiscal year 2024 State budget prohibiting the use of propane heating, furnaces, and natural gas stoves in residential buildings and requiring the use of all electric heating and cooking appliances in buildings smaller than seven stories by 2026 and for larger buildings by 2029. (7) On May 8, 2023, 11 city attorneys general from States such as Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Rhode Island, Oregon, Vermont, the District of Columbia, and Washington submitted a letter to the Consumer Product Safety
