AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure the prompt decommissioning of nuclear power stations in Massachusetts. It introduces a $25 million annual fee for nuclear power stations that do not fully decommission within 5 years of ceasing power generation. The fee is paid into a Nuclear Power Station Decommissioning Trust Fund, which will be used to support decommissioning activities after the federal decommissioning trust fund is exhausted. The bill also outlines the process for the state to authorize disbursements from the trust fund and recover any funds obtained through false certifications.
