Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron has joined a coalition of 22 states in a letter to the U.S. Department of Energy challenging the constitutionality of a proposed regulation that could make many gas stoves illegal.
In that letter, the attorneys general contend the proposed regulation is unnecessary, burdensome, and violates the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution. That amendment, ratified in December 1791, states powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The coalition also opposes what they call arbitrary assumptions used by DOE to justify the regulation and rejects the notion cooking products, like gas stoves and ovens, are subject to federal authority.
This letter is Attorney General Cameron’s latest effort to protect Kentuckians from what he calls unconstitutional and burdensome regulations proposed by the Biden Administration.
Attorney General Cameron was joined by attorneys general from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia in sending the letter.
