AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to expand the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone around nuclear power plants to include not just the 10-mile radius, but also cities and towns located in distinct geographic areas where any evacuation of individuals would cause them to traverse highways or bridges closer to the power station. The bill requires the state Department of Public Health to promulgate rules and regulations to implement these new planning zone requirements within 180 days of the bill's effective date.
