Justice for Jana Elementary Act of 2023
This bill requires the Army Corps of Engineers to set new goals for removing all radioactive contamination from Jana Elementary School in Florissant, Missouri, within 120 days of enactment. It creates a $25 million fund to reimburse schools for testing costs related to radioactive contamination and to finance new school construction for affected schools in the Hazelwood School District. The bill mandates investigations of all Hazelwood schools for radiation, requiring reports on contamination levels and safety risks to students. It directly affects Jana Elementary (which closed after 2020) and other Hazelwood schools with detected radiation within 1,000 feet of classrooms.
