The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure voted by voice to favorably report HR 1182, the Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety and Oversight Improvements Act of 2025.

Proponents said the bill would require the Department of Transportation to publish a rulemaking that ensures foreign‑manufactured compressed gas cylinders meet the same safety standards as domestic products, addressing concerns about unmarked and potentially unsafe cylinders sold online.

Chairman Graves described the bill as essential to ensure foreign‑manufactured cylinders meet DOT safety standards. Ranking Member Larson said PHMSA recently issued a safety advisory about unsafe cylinders being sold online that lacked U.S. or U.N. certification markings and that the bill would require consistent standards for domestic and foreign manufacturers. Representatives Nelms and Taylor also spoke in support, calling the bill a measure to protect consumers and level the playing field for domestic producers.

With no amendments offered, the committee proceeded to final passage. The chair declared the ayes had it; HR 1182 was agreed to and ordered favorably reported to the House. The motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
