THIS WEEK’S NOTICES:

Oppose AB 25: Forbidding Wisconsin from Enforcing Clean Air Standards

Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters urges you to oppose AB 25, which is before the Assembly Committee on Environment and Forestry on Wednesday.

The Clean Air Act sets standards to protect the public from harmful pollution like fine particulates or soot, which can cause respiratory problems and even premature death. Pollution from residential or commercial wood stoves can lead to serious respiratory problems when breathed in high concentrations. In low concentrations, particle pollution in wood smoke can harm the health of children, the elderly, and those with existing respiratory diseases. AB 25 would prohibit the DNR from implementing or enforcing new federal public health standards for residential or commercial wood stoves.

Conservation NOW 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 Conservation NOW, including legislative staff, conservation voters, and media. All of these issues are tracked on our website. Issues in the Conservation NOW may appear in the Conservation Scorecard, to be released in the summer of 2016.
