The Senate recently voted to extend the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), aiming to expand coverage to all of Utah. This legislative move comes after Rep. Ann Wagner led House colleagues in urging for the RECA's reauthorization to be included in upcoming appropriations legislation. The push for reauthorization is underscored by criticisms from Sen. Hawley, who highlighted the federal government's historical misinformation about nuclear waste in Missouri and across the nation. Despite the Senate's approval, the bill still faces challenges in the House, where its future remains uncertain.
