Plain-language summary

Beta

This resolution would create a temporary advisory group, connected to the Energy and Environment Cabinet, to study how Kentucky could better reuse, recycle, and recover materials and energy rather than treating them as waste. The group would meet at least four times and deliver a report with findings and recommendations to state lawmakers by the end of 2026. It does not create new laws or regulations on its own, but its recommendations could shape future policy. Who it may affect: businesses and industries involved in manufacturing, recycling, or waste management, and Kentuckians with an interest in energy and environmental policy.
