H.B. 254

# H.B. 254 Plain-Language Summary H.B. 254 updates Utah's nuclear waste classification system by replacing the state's own definitions of high-level nuclear waste and low-level radioactive waste with the definitions used in federal law (found in the U.S. Code). The bill's main purpose is to align state regulations with federal standards, ensuring consistency in how nuclear waste is classified and regulated. The key impacts include simplified compliance for waste handlers and facilities, as the state now defers to well-established federal definitions rather than maintaining separate state-level classifications.
