Priority Engagement Opportunities
⛔ TELL YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE TO VOTE NO ON SB 199.
Senate Bill 199 would shield pesticide manufacturers from legal accountability by declaring that federal pesticide labels—which often fail to disclose the full health risks of so-called "inert" ingredients—are legally sufficient warning under state law.
In effect, SB 199 puts corporate profits above the health of Kentucky families, farmers, and communities. Even as science reveals new links between pesticides and children's neurodevelopment, hormone disruption, and chronic disease, this bill would block Kentuckians from seeking justice for harms not listed on outdated federal labels.
Kentuckians deserve the right to hold companies accountable when their products cause harm. SB 199 takes that right away.

⛔ TELL YOUR SENATOR TO VOTE NO ON SB 178.
Senate Bill 178 would weaken Kentucky's ability to protect public health by preventing state agencies from adopting safeguards stronger than federal minimums.
In effect, SB 178 makes the federal floor our ceiling—even as we face unique threats like drinking water contamination, flooding risks, coal impacts, and industrial pollution.
Kentuckians deserve the freedom to set strong protections for clean air, safe water, and healthy communities. SB 178 ties our hands.
