Legal and geographic scope

Enrolled Act 52 of 2021. The governor signed it on 3 June 2021. Section 16 amends 20 V.S.A. section 38. The opened text creates a radiological emergency response plan fund. An entity operating a nuclear reactor, or storing nuclear fuel and radioactive waste, deposits the appropriated amount. Section 18 says sections 12 through 17 take effect on 1 July 2021. The enrolled section 16 uses an ellipsis between later subsections, so the omitted subsections were not read. This funds the state's radiological emergency plan. It is not a construction permit and not an operating licence.

Not approved or still pending

Subsections omitted by the enrolled act's ellipsis were not read. The official code for 30 V.S.A. sections 248 and 254 was not opened. No dollar balance, award, or named recipient is stored. No project is linked. This is not permission to construct or operate a reactor.
