CNOW for June 30, 2025

Today's conservation notices:

• Oppose SB 127: Not prioritizing homeowners in PFAS remediation
• Oppose SB 128: Unaccountable PFAS polluters and unfunded PFAS programs

Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose SB 127, which is before the Senate Committee on Natural Resources, Veteran and Military Affairs on Tuesday.

Homeowners dealing with PFAS contamination should get help cleaning up, and they shouldn’t need to compete for funding with commercial and industrial properties. SB 127 forces homeowners to compete for funding with commercial and industrial properties.

Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose SB 128, which is before the Senate Committee on Natural Resources, Veteran and Military Affairs on Tuesday.

To protect Wisconsinites from PFAS contamination, we must ensure that corporate polluters who caused the problem are held responsible for remediation. We also need to fund existing drinking water programs. SB 128 includes a dangerously broad limitation on the DNR’s authority to protect innocent landowners from corporate polluters, and it doesn’t guarantee any money will ever be distributed to impacted communities.

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, to be released in the summer of 2026.
