SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Health; radioactive materials. Empowers the Board of Health to establish fee schedules, not to exceed comparable federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission fees, for the licensure and inspection of radioactive materials facilities and to adopt regulations for the imposition of civil penalties for violations of law, regulation or licensure conditions by persons licensed for the use or possession or radioactive materials. These fees will be deposited into a special fund to support the licensure and inspection activities. The Special Trust Fund for Radioactive Materials Facility Licensure and Inspection is created as a revolving, nonreverting fund on the books of the Comptroller. The Fund will only be used to support the Department of Health’s program for licensure and inspection of radioactive materials facilities. In addition, the bill modifies the Governor’s current authority to enter into agreements with the federal government for the state to assume responsibilities for regulating sources of ionizing radiation by making such agreements subject to funds being appropriated. This bill also includes several technical amendments.
