Republican members of Congress have proposed legislation to preemptively block any proposed rules to ban or heavily restrict gas ovens being sold in the United States by Biden administration officials in the U.S. Department of Energy.

The legislation comes as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) made a formal request for information about the health hazards of gas-powered stoves–just months after the agency’s commissioner, Richard Trumka, Jr., suggested that a gas stove ban could be on the table.
