HR 87: A RESOLUTION recognizing March 8 to 14, 2026, as Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

HR 87 is a symbolic resolution recognizing March 8-14, 2026, as Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week in Kentucky. It does not create new laws or allocate funds; instead, it formally acknowledges the impact of multiple sclerosis (MS) on Kentuckians and honors the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's work. The resolution highlights that MS affects thousands in Kentucky, often strikes people aged 20-50, and has no cure, while noting the Society’s research investments and mission. This is a ceremonial gesture to raise public awareness, directly affecting Kentuckians living with MS and the Society’s local chapter.

HB 108: AN ACT relating to solid waste management.

HB 108 amends Kentucky law to exclude certain industrial waste facilities from being classified as "municipal solid waste disposal facilities." Specifically, it exempts waste sites owned and operated exclusively by a solid waste generator that only accept industrial waste generated from the generator's own operations on the same or adjacent property (including via corporate affiliates). This change removes these facilities from the requirement to obtain permits under municipal solid waste management rules, which currently apply to most disposal sites. The bill directly affects industrial facilities that manage their own waste streams on-site, altering their regulatory classification without creating new permitting obligations.
