This bill would give the Energy and Environment Cabinet the authority to create rules aimed at stopping the spread of invasive, non-native plant species in Kentucky. Currently, the cabinet lacks this specific regulatory power, and the bill would add it to existing state law. Who it may affect: landowners, farmers, and land managers who may be subject to future regulations about invasive plants on their property.
