HB 2661 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies financial requirements of the radioactive waste investigation fund

This bill modifies the rules for the Radioactive Waste Investigation Fund to allow local governments to request investigations into potential radioactive contamination within their jurisdictions. Under the new provisions, the Department of Natural Resources must evaluate these requests and prioritize those near federally designated radioactive sites, while ensuring that any sampling inside homes only occurs with homeowner permission. The fund is capped at $150,000 per fiscal year for transfers and investigation costs, with any remaining money at the end of a two-year period returning to the general hazardous waste fund. All investigation results must be reported to the attorney general and the requesting local body, and the final reports must be made publicly available on the department's website.
