THERE’S A PUSH IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY FOR GAS STOVES SOLD IN ILLINOIS TO COME WITH A WARNING LABEL. 

THE LABEL WOULD ALERT USERS TO THE RISKS OF ASTHMA AND OTHER RESPIRATORY ILLNESS FROM GAS STOVE EMISSIONS. IT’S SPONSORED BY REPRESENTATIVE ANNE STAVA-MURRAY OF DOWNERS GROVE, WHO SAYS THIS IS NOT ABOUT RESTRICTING PEOPLE’S CHOICES.

STAVA-MURRAY IT’S A SIMPLE BILL.

IF EVENTUALLY PASSED AND SIGNED INTO LAW, THE LABEL REQUIREMENT FOR GAS STOVES SOLD IN ILLINOIS WOULD KICK IN NEXT YEAR.
