AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Department of Public Health to make assessments against the operators of existing and proposed nuclear power plants in Massachusetts, as well as electric companies that own or purchase power from the Seabrook and Vermont Yankee nuclear power plants. The assessments are intended to defray the costs incurred by the department's radiation control program in carrying out its duties. The bill sets a minimum assessment of $500,000 per nuclear power plant for the first fiscal year, and allows the department to adjust the assessments in subsequent years to cover the prior year's costs. The bill also specifies the collection and enforcement procedures for these assessments.
