Nebraska played a key role in stopping federal regulations on gas stoves after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit struck down a Department of Energy rule that placed limits on gas stoves and cooking appliances.
Background
The court ruled that the Biden Administration broke federal law by trying to push the rule through without the normal public process. Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers made a formal objection on behalf of 23 states after the rule was issued in February 2023.
Hilgers stated that the Biden Administration had ignored criticism of gas stove standards and failed to hear the concerns of opposing states. The Fifth Circuit agreed, finding that the Biden Administration had left the opposing states out of the process.
According to Hilgers, this is a major victory for Nebraska families and for common sense. The Biden Administration tried to force through its gas stove agenda while shutting out states like Nebraska. Hilgers said Nebraska will continue to fight federal overreach and protect the freedom of families to make their own choices.
