Summary
This bill extends the operational authority of the Southeast Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact, which manages the disposal and handling of low-level radioactive waste among member states, until June 30, 2030. The legislation removes the Compact from an earlier termination schedule and places it under a new sunset provision that requires review and potential reauthorization by 2030. This extension ensures continued interstate cooperation for radioactive waste management while maintaining legislative oversight through the sunset review process, which allows the legislature to evaluate the Compact's effectiveness before deciding whether to continue, restructure, or terminate it.
