Resolution to include Montana in the radiation exposure compensation act

This legislative resolution urges the U.S. Congress to amend the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to include Montanans who were exposed to radiation from nuclear testing between 1945 and 1962. The bill identifies Montana as one of the most affected downwind states, specifically naming 15 counties with high exposure levels where residents may have developed radiation-related illnesses without knowing the cause. It requests that federal lawmakers pass changes to provide compensation funds to these individuals, directing the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to members of Congress. The measure does not create new funding or compensation directly but serves as a formal request for federal legislative action.
