Extinguishes the annual monitoring and reporting requirements contained in SJR 126 (1985) and continued by SJR 278 (1993). These two study resolutions currently require the Department of Health and the State Corporation Commission to monitor and annually report on ongoing research on the health effects of high voltage transmission lines.
