Oppose AB 312 & SB 312: Poison Pill Tied to Establishing PFAS Community Grant Programs
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose SB 312, which is before the Assembly on Thursday.
Every person in Wisconsin deserves safe drinking water. AB 312 & SB 312 aim to create PFAS Community Grant Programs intended for municipal drinking water systems and private well owners. However, it also includes a poison pill that would limit the Department of Natural Resource’s ability to test for PFAS, and take enforcement action against those responsible for contamination. This would degrade Wisconsin’s spills law, a tool that has protected Wisconsinites from pollution for decades.
Oppose AJR 6: Eliminating the Governor’s Ability to Spend Federal Dollars
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose AJR 6, which is before the Assembly on Thursday.
Wisconsin communities depend on the quick deployment of federal dollars to protect their drinking water, fund clean energy projects, and respond to extreme weather emergencies. AJR 6 would eliminate the governor’s ability to quickly distribute this federal funding.
Conservation Notices of the Week (CNOW) announces the pro-conservation positions on issues before the senate, assembly and/or governor in the week ahead to state legislators. Others wishing to follow activities in the state legislature also receive CNOW, including legislative staff, conservation voters, and media. All of these issues are tracked on the Vote Tracker. Issues in the CNOW may appear in the Conservation Scorecard.
