Plain-English Summary

The legislation would allow manufacturers to produce and sell gasoline containers that don't meet current federal safety standards, which require spill-proof and flame-arrestor features designed to prevent fires and spills. This would affect consumers who buy gas cans, gas station operators, and container manufacturers by giving them more product options, though potentially with fewer safety protections than currently required. The change would remove federal regulations that have been in place to reduce the risk of gasoline-related accidents and injuries.
