Radiation Protection Act of 2024

This bill establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for the acquisition, use, and disposal of radiation within the District of Columbia, directly affecting businesses, healthcare facilities, and individuals who handle radioactive materials or radiation-producing equipment. It requires most entities and individuals involved in these activities to obtain specific licenses, certifications, or registrations from the Mayor's office, while exempting certain medical professionals and existing solid waste facilities. The legislation also grants officials the authority to inspect operations, seize non-compliant materials, and impose civil or criminal penalties for violations, replacing the previous 1990 policy with updated rules.
