2026 Legislation of interest to Scientists
The KAS Policy Committee has identified bills that we think are potentially high-impact, where scientific input may be valuable. We'll also be watching the budget bills as they take shape.

2026 Bills of interest to Scientists

It's easy to call the General Assembly's toll-free message line at 1-800-372-7181 and leave a message for a legislator about any piece of legislation. 
If you'd like to contribute your expertise to a KAS brief on any of these topics, get in touch with Austin McMasters, our Science Policy Specialist. Thank you!

Science Policy Committee
 
The KAS Science Policy Committee tracks legislation on health, the environment, educations and other issues that matter to the science community throughout each Kentucky General Assembly session. We welcome all members interested in joining this committee or just dropping in for a meeting. We meet online at 12:30 p.m. (ET) on the second Wednesday of each month. Email us if you'd like to join.
