Summary
This bill extends the Southeast Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact for an additional six years, setting its new termination date as June 30, 2030. The legislation removes the Compact from its current sunset provision location in the Tennessee Code and places it under a new section that groups it with other governmental entities scheduled to terminate in 2030. By doing so, the bill ensures the continuation of Tennessee's participation in this multi-state compact, which manages and regulates the disposal of low-level radioactive waste across participating southeastern states, while maintaining legislative oversight through the sunset review process.
