Posts - Bill - S 101 Nuclear Waste Informed Consent Act
senate 01/15/2025 - 119th Congress
We're proposing legislation that ensures any expenditures from the Nuclear Waste Fund for creating a nuclear waste repository can only occur with the explicit consent of affected state and local governments and relevant Indian tribes. This is about prioritizing local communities' voices and environmental safety in decisions that directly impact their regions.
