Say NO to Scientific Censorship by the WV Legislature!
Help Stop the Anti-Science Bill in WV!
The 2025 WV Legislature is considering a bill deceptively named the “Sound Science in Regulations Act” (HB2493; SB599), but in fact, this bill undercuts science to protect public health and the environment. Here’s what it does:
- Prevents state agencies from using public health research because it creates an impossible standard for public health research to be used in regulations.
- Prohibits state agencies from using the best available science because it bans research published in top-tier scientific journals. This bill amounts to scientific censorship!
- Impact nearly every aspect of state agency regulations, including all advisories, rules, and standards that protect public health and the environment because it is overly broad.
Dozens of scientists in West Virginia have signed on to our letter to our lawmakers urging them to reject this bill. Learn more here.
