This bill clarifies that the Governor can negotiate agreements specifically with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (rather than vaguely "the federal government") to take over state radiation safety regulations that the federal government previously handled. The bill also requires that the state must have adequate funding and an established radiation protection program in place before the Governor can sign any such agreement.
