Senate Concurrent Resolution 1

# Senate Concurrent Resolution 1 Summary Senate Concurrent Resolution 1 is a non-binding expression of Utah's support for pursuing "Agreement State" status with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which would allow the state to assume regulatory authority over certain elements of the nuclear fuel cycle currently overseen by the federal government. The resolution directs Utah's governor and the Department of Environmental Quality to work with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to develop the technical and legal framework needed to expand state oversight of nuclear materials and activities, with the goal of enhancing local regulatory control while maintaining safety and environmental standards. This resolution does not appropriate any funds and primarily signals Utah's intent to increase its role in nuclear energy regulation as part of its broader energy development strategy.
