Bill > S1971

Introduced Session

This bill would permit the governing body of a municipality in which there is located a decommissioned nuclear power plant in which spent nuclear fuel is stored, by ordinance, to impose a stranded nuclear waste fee on the owner of the decommissioned nuclear power plant for every calendar year in which spent nuclear fuel is stored in the decommissioned nuclear power plant. The amount of the annual fee would be equal to the number of kilograms of spent nuclear fuel stored at the decommissioned nuclear power plant multiplied by the fee per kilogram established in the ordinance. The fee per kilogram could not exceed $15. The use of the annual fee would be limited to reducing the municipal property tax levy.
