HB 1524 Reporting radioactive materials.
Introduced by: Harry R. Purkey | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Reporting radioactive materials. Requires, when required by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, immediate reporting to the State Departments of Health and Police when radioactive materials, including sources of ionizing radiation approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of foods pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), cannot be accounted for within 24 hours. This bill also provides that the reports of the missing radioactive materials will not be public records pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act. However, the information may be made public in whole or in part (i) where the release of the report may assist in the prevention of imminent harm to public health or safety, or (ii) where the release of the report may be useful for education of the public on health, safety or homeland defense issues. The Department must cooperate with and may share this information with the Department of Emergency Management, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, United States Food and Drug Administration, and state, local and federal law-enforcement agencies, as appropriate.
