CHARGE Act
The CHARGE Act requires the National Institutes of Health to conduct a study on the potential effects of high-voltage power lines, specifically those rated at 750 kilovolts or greater, on human health, livestock, and crop yields. The Secretary of Health and Human Services would oversee this research and must submit a report detailing the findings upon completion. This report would be delivered to the relevant House and Senate committees responsible for agriculture and energy policy.
