Bill Summary
A JOINT RESOLUTION to amend the Wyoming Constitution to require an affirmative vote of the state's electors before high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel can be stored in Wyoming.
AI Summary
This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Wyoming Constitution that would require the people of Wyoming to vote in favor of storing high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel within the state before such storage can be authorized by state law. High-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel are byproducts of nuclear power generation that remain radioactive and hazardous for very long periods. The resolution outlines that this proposed amendment, if approved by a majority of Wyoming voters in the next general election, would become part of the state's constitution, ensuring that any decision to allow the storage of these materials rests directly with the electorate.
