Summary:
The meeting was a ceremonial swearing-in for newly elected Mississippi senators, with family members and guests present for photos and congratulations after each oath. The presiding officer repeatedly administered the standard oath of office, which included pledges to support the U.S. and state constitutions, faithfully discharge legislative duties, and not vote based on promises from other legislators.
Senators Johnny DuPree, Don Harkness, Teresa Gillespie Eason, Kamasha B. Mumford, and Senator Pope were among those introduced and sworn in. The transcript is largely focused on the formal oath-taking, brief remarks of welcome, and photo opportunities, rather than legislative debate or policy discussion.
No bills were discussed, and no votes or substantive committee actions were taken in this segment.

Summary:
The committee met and approved the minutes, then heard announcements and introductions from members and guests, including an invitation to an East Kentucky trail ride opening and welcomes for new EPIC and Kentucky Coal Association representatives and several constituents. After the opening business, the committee turned to a presentation on nanotechnology and energy applications by Rodney Andrews of the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research.
Andrews explained how nanoscale materials behave differently because of their size and surface area, and described uses in consumer products, batteries, solar panels, catalysts, coatings, sensors, and energy storage. Members asked about the relationship between nanomaterials and coal, and Andrews said carbon nanotubes can be made from coal-derived hydrocarbons, which members noted as an opportunity for Kentucky’s coal and manufacturing sectors. He also discussed work on improved solar coatings, more stable perovskites, fuel-processing catalysts, hydrogen storage, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel, electromagnetic shielding, and conductive yarns and fabrics.
The presentation also covered more advanced applications such as thermoelectric textiles, power transmission materials, thermal transport composites for aerospace, nanofluids for cooling, and fusion reactor shielding. In the final discussion, members raised questions about electromagnetic pulse protection and quantum computing; Andrews said the materials discussed could absorb and spread energy and that shielding applications may help with EMPs, while quantum computing remains limited by extremely low operating temperatures. No formal votes were taken beyond approval of the minutes.

Summary:
The Kentucky Senate Natural Resources Committee held its first meeting of 2026, opened with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, roll call, and several housekeeping reminders from the chair. The chair emphasized a 24-hour filing rule for amendments and other items, asked members to use “present” during roll call, and reminded members to route questions through the chair rather than cross-examining witnesses. The committee also welcomed a student guest, Madison Dus, and several interns, and noted that Senator Neal was attending the committee for the first time.
The committee then heard Senate Bill 29 from Senator Greg Elkins, which would prohibit solid waste management facilities from being charged an assessment or fee by the county or solid waste district where the waste was generated. Supporters described the bill as a response to counties attempting to impose “designation fees” on waste generated locally, and said the measure would close a loophole and prevent a growing practice. After discussion about similar practices in other states and the value of waste as a commodity, the committee voted favorably to pass SB 29.
The committee next considered Senate Bill 49, also by Senator Elkins, which would create a voluntary statewide program to increase awareness, education, and recycling of lithium and other rechargeable batteries. Testimony focused on the fire and explosion risks batteries pose in collection vehicles and landfills, the value of rare earth metals in batteries, and the need to keep them out of the waste stream. Members asked about whether larger batteries, such as those from electric vehicles or solar facilities, were covered under existing law; the sponsor said the bill was aimed at smaller consumer batteries and that larger batteries were likely already addressed under existing universal waste or hazardous waste rules. The committee also discussed how to promote the voluntary program through retailers, local governments, recyclers, and the Energy and Environment Cabinet. SB 49 was then approved favorably by committee vote.

Summary:
The committee meeting began with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, roll call, and approval of the prior minutes. Members also observed a moment of reflection for Charlie Kirk and offered condolences to Representative Bobby McCool on the death of his mother. Representative Fugate then made announcements about the ongoing ATV/UTV trail system, including an October 21 opening in Letcher County and an October 2 groundbreaking in Knott County, and staff was asked to circulate the dates to members.
The main agenda item was Senate Bill 137, presented by Senator Cassie Chambers Armstrong with testimony from George Ecklan of the Coalition of the Homeless and Wesley Bryant, a flood survivor and Eastern Kentucky resident. The bill would prohibit utility disconnections for non-payment during dangerous weather and emergencies, including extreme cold, excessive heat, and declared natural disasters. Supporters said the measure is narrow, does not forgive past-due balances or change reconnection policies, and is intended to protect vulnerable residents, reduce risks to first responders, and create a minimum statewide standard amid a patchwork of utility policies. They cited weather thresholds and historical examples of extreme weather and disaster declarations in Kentucky.
Testimony emphasized the human impact of shutoffs, especially for low-income households, older adults, and families facing illness or disaster recovery. Bryant described experiences with people shivering without heat or struggling to keep children cool when power was cut off, calling electricity a lifeline rather than a luxury. Representative Gu raised concerns that utility bills have become unaffordable due to broader policy and rate issues, argued that some customers may not pay if shutoffs are prohibited, and questioned whether the bill was needed. Senator Chambers Armstrong responded that the proposal is limited to non-payment shutoffs during short periods of dangerous conditions and is meant to keep people safe during emergencies. No vote or final action on the bill was taken in the portion of the meeting provided.
