Senate Bill 178 would weaken Kentucky’s ability to protect public health and the environment by preventing state agencies from adopting safeguards that go beyond federal minimum standards.
In effect, SB 178 would make the federal floor Kentucky’s ceiling — even when our state faces unique threats like drinking water contamination, flooding risks, coal mining impacts, and industrial pollution.
Kentuckians deserve the freedom to set strong protections for clean air, safe water, and healthy communities. SB 178 would tie the hands of state agencies and make it harder to respond to emerging environmental threats.
Tell your legislator: Vote NO on SB 178.
