Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy It was introduced Thursday's bill to abolish gas can regulations implementation Under the Barack Obama administration.
In the early 2000s, a series of environmental regulations aimed at reducing steam emissions removed gas can vents. The designed vents prevent the vacuum from forming inside the gas can, allowing gasoline to be poured smoothly.
“The pointless government regulations have ruined a lot of common sense products, and everyone knows it.”
However, after regulations were implemented and vents were removed, gasoline flows were unpredictable and often spilled, hindering the once simple and efficient design.
Roy's bill will eliminate these unnecessary regulations and restore the functioning of gas cans.
“The pointless government regulations ruin a lot of common sense products, and everyone knows it,” Roy told Blaze News. “The federal government doesn't have to be involved in any aspect of our lives, and we don't have to be involved in gas cans.”
Roy points out that, like many federal regulations, they often fail to achieve their intended purpose and make convenient sacrifices, even if they are. on the other hand Justification Because the regulations were to prevent emissions, new designs often lead to more spills, which lead to more emissions.
“The Gas Can Freedom Act eliminates unnecessary federal regulations that have malfunctioned gas cans and allows Americans to return to simple gas cans that actually work,” Roy added. “It's been past time when the gas cans are made to work again.”
