This legislative proposal, titled the "Gas Can Freedom Act of 2025," aims to eliminate two existing federal laws concerning portable fuel containers. Specifically, it repeals both the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act of 2020 and the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act . As a direct consequence of these repeals, any regulations previously promulgated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) under the authority of these acts will immediately lose all force and effect. Moreover, the bill explicitly prohibits the CPSC from issuing any new regulations that would mandate flame mitigation devices or child-resistance requirements for portable fuel containers in the future.
