Legal and geographic scope

2026 Acts chapter 56, section 5, amends KRS 164.2803. The amended text says the Kentucky Nuclear Energy Development Authority creates and implements the Nuclear Energy Development Grant Program for fission and fusion projects in the nuclear energy ecosystem. A subcommittee makes grant awards not to exceed $2,000,000 per individual grant. The session-law PDF prints Signed by Governor April 8, 2026. It does not print an effective date for section 5. The cap is what the amended text states. This record does not say the act created the cap.

Not approved or still pending

No applicant and no award are named. The $2,000,000 figure is a per-grant cap in the amended text, not a recorded disbursement. The session-law PDF does not print section 5's effective date. The 15 July 2026 date on the compiled companion sections is not copied here.
