SB 1091

Based on the bill text provided, this legislation addresses nuclear emergency preparedness funding in Arizona by modifying how costs are allocated between the state and utilities operating nuclear power plants. The bill establishes that the state will cover nuclear emergency management costs up to $500,000 annually from general fund appropriations, while any expenses exceeding this threshold will be assessed to and paid by the nuclear utility operators. This cost-sharing structure ensures baseline emergency preparedness funding from the state while making nuclear utilities financially responsible for extraordinary emergency management expenses related to their operations.
