Resolve relative to preventing the discharge of radioactive materials

This bill establishes a special commission to investigate the environmental and economic effects of discharging radioactive wastewater from nuclear power plants into Massachusetts waters. The commission will include high-ranking officials such as the governor, attorney general, and legislative leaders, and it must hold public listening sessions in coastal counties before submitting its findings by November 2025. While the bill does not permanently ban the discharge, it mandates a 90-day waiting period after the report is released to allow time for reviewing the commission's recommendations. The primary goal is to gather data on how such discharges might impact local industries like fishing, tourism, and aquaculture before any future actions are taken.
