TO COMPLY WITH ARKANSAS ACTS 2023, NO. 259; TO REQUEST FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THE NEXT STUDY PHASE; AND TO PETITION THE ARKANSAS CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO INTRODUCE FEDERAL LEGISLATION TO RECTIFY CERTAIN ENERGY ISSUES.
House Concurrent Resolution 1009 is a request to the Arkansas congressional delegation to introduce federal legislation addressing the Nuclear Waste Fund. It seeks a federal report on the fund's accounting practices and $10 million in funding for a state study on recycling spent nuclear fuel, aligning with Arkansas' existing nuclear recycling program established by Act 2023, No. 259. This resolution does not create new law but aims to advance Arkansas' study of nuclear fuel recycling and resolve federal budgeting issues affecting nuclear waste disposal.
