Bill Summary

For legislation relative to responsible emergency planning at nuclear power plants. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to authorize the state's Department of Public Health to assess fees on the owners or operators of existing and proposed nuclear power plants, including inactive facilities that harbor nuclear materials, to cover the costs incurred by the department's radiation control program in performing its duties. The assessments are capped at $180,000 per year for active facilities and $250,000 per year for inactive facilities, and the collected funds are to be deposited into the General Fund and credited to the Department of Public Health. The bill provides a process for companies to object to the assessments and allows the department to refer unpaid assessments to the Department of Revenue for collection.
