This bill, known as the "Gas Can Freedom Act of 2025," proposes to repeal two significant federal laws : the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act of 2020 and the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act. The primary goal is to eliminate the existing statutory basis for regulations concerning the safety features of portable fuel containers. Upon enactment, all regulations previously issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) under these repealed acts would immediately lose their legal force. Furthermore, the bill explicitly prohibits the CPSC from ever promulgating new regulations that would require flame mitigation devices or child-resistant requirements for portable gasoline containers, thereby removing the agency's authority in these areas.
