Bill Summary
Repeals certain provisions relating to the Radioactive Waste Investigation Fund
AI Summary
This bill repeals and replaces an existing section of Missouri law regarding the Radioactive Waste Investigation Fund, which is a dedicated state treasury fund used by the Department of Natural Resources to investigate radioactive waste contamination concerns. The bill maintains the fund's original purpose of allowing local governing bodies to request scientific investigations into potential radioactive waste exposure in their jurisdictions. Key changes include removing previous annual transfer and expenditure limits of $150,000, while maintaining the requirement that any remaining funds at the end of a biennium will be transferred to the hazardous waste fund. The investigation process remains unchanged, with the department prioritizing requests in order received, with potential priority given to areas near federally designated sites with known radioactive contaminants. The bill preserves the existing protocol where investigations will be conducted by federal or state agencies or qualified contractors, involve developing a sampling and analysis plan, potentially include residential dust sampling (with homeowner permission), and require the department to report findings to the attorney general and local governing body within 45 days, while also making the results publicly available online.
