Summary
This bill establishes labor protections for employees of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant during its decommissioning and transfer process. It requires that any entity purchasing, leasing, or involved in decommissioning activities at Indian Point must pay workers at least the prevailing wage for the locality and honor existing collective bargaining agreements. The bill also expands the definition of "electric plant" in public service law to explicitly include nuclear power reactors, while simultaneously repealing certain 2020 provisions related to Indian Point's transfer and decommissioning requirements. These measures aim to protect the workforce and ensure fair compensation as the nuclear facility transitions through closure and ownership changes.
