AN ACT relating to natural resources.

SB 277 corrects technical language in Kentucky law (KRS 350.240) regarding regulations for reclaiming land disturbed by clay mining. It clarifies that the Energy and Environment Cabinet can create administrative regulations for clay mining reclamation - specifically encouraging water impoundments - while aligning with the Interstate Mining Compact's standards. The bill directly affects the Cabinet (which develops regulations) and clay mining operations (which must follow the regulations). This is a technical correction to existing law, not a new policy change.
