[[File:Letter page 11StevenRudySuspension.jpg|thumb|Representative Rudy's suspension letter (signed by Rudy) from Lyon County Schools]]
In the 2008 session of the Kentucky General Assembly, Rudy introduced legislation that would allow for nuclear plants to be built in Kentucky without having a permanent waste disposal facility, in an attempt to end the state's moratorium on nuclear power plants. The legislation did not pass.<ref>{{Cite web |title=08RS House Bill 542 |url=https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/record/08rs/hb542.html |access-date=2024-09-09 |website=apps.legislature.ky.gov}}</ref>


In the 2009 regular session of the Kentucky General Assembly, Rudy refiled legislation to lift the moratorium on nuclear power plants.

Everytime Rudy saw the student over the following days he apologized and said he was sorry. He was placed on an unpaid suspended by the school superintendent for two weeks. <ref>http://www.bluegrassreport.org/bluegrass_politics/2006/10/looks_like_broc.html</ref>.
