Permits certain municipalities to impose stranded nuclear waste fee.

This bill (S 1562) would allow municipalities with decommissioned nuclear power plants to charge the plant owners a fee based on the amount of spent nuclear fuel stored onsite. The fee could not exceed $15 per kilogram of spent nuclear fuel and would be calculated annually by multiplying the fuel weight by the municipality's set rate. All collected fees must be used solely to reduce local property tax levies. The bill was introduced in January 2026 but withdrawn from consideration on January 28, 2026, and is no longer active.
