HR 4754 United States House · 118th Congress

Downwinders Parity Act of 2023

This bill amends the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to expand eligibility for compensation to people affected by nuclear testing fallout. It updates the geographic criteria to include all land in qualifying counties, removing outdated township references that previously excluded some residents. This change directly affects individuals living in certain counties near nuclear test sites who were previously ineligible due to the specific land descriptions. The policy change simplifies eligibility by using broader county-based coverage instead of precise township boundaries.
