S 463 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Downwinders Parity Act of 2023

This bill expands eligibility for compensation under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act by changing the geographic criteria to include all land in certain counties near nuclear test sites. It directly affects people who lived in those counties and were previously excluded from benefits due to outdated land descriptions. The key change removes specific township references and broadens coverage to "all acreage in any county" where part of the county was previously covered. The bill requires the Attorney General to submit a report on outreach efforts to newly eligible individuals within 180 days of enactment.
