SB 1007: nuclear emergency management; appropriations; assessments

Sponsor: Senator Kavanagh, LD 3

Transmitted to the Governor

Overview

Appropriates $2,434,868 in FY 2024 and $2,484,600 FY 2025 from the Nuclear Emergency Management Fund (Fund).

History

Every two years after receiving a recommendation, the Legislature levies and appropriates an amount necessary to support the off-site response plans for an emergency at a commercial nuclear generating station. The Legislature assess this amount to each entity that constructs and operates a commercial nuclear generating station (A.R.S. § 26-306.01).

The Fund is non-lapsing and is distributed to the Division of Emergency Management of the Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (Division) and the Arizona Department of Agriculture (ADA). Any remaining unexpended monies revert to the Fund and reduce future appropriations and assessments (A.R.S. § 26-306.02).
