Kentucky SB178 regulates environmental administrative regulations to ensure they are not more stringent than federal laws or regulations.

Kentucky SB178 establishes that any administrative regulation related to environmental requirements cannot be more stringent or extensive than federal laws or regulations on the same or similar topics. If no federal regulation exists, the state regulation cannot be proposed unless it is based on the best available science and the weight of scientific evidence. The bill defines "best available science" and "weight of scientific evidence" and mandates that regulations must establish a direct causal link between exposure and manifest bodily harm in humans.
