SB 6369: Environment & human health

Protecting environmental quality and human health.

Summary

  • The SEPA guidelines include that the lack of scientific certainty is not sufficient reason for the state to postpone cost-effective measure to prevent serious or irreversible damage to human health or the environment. The term environment is defined to include physical, mental, economic, and social well-being of human health, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
