HB 1995 -- Nuclear Power Surcharge

Sponsor:  Loehner

This bill requires an electrical corporation to pay a surcharge
of one-tenth of one cent per kilowatt hour on all nuclear energy
produced in the state and sold out of its service territory.  The
moneys received from the surcharge will be deposited into a
special account in the General Revenue Fund to be distributed to
the school districts within the 10-mile emergency planning zone
as specified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and used
for nuclear emergency preparedness and planning and hazard
mitigation.  Distributions will be based on the percentage of
land each district has within the zone.  The bill allows the
corporation to recover the cost of the surcharge through normal
rate-making procedures.
