6 (420 ILCS 35/6) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 230.6)
7 Sec. 6. It is recognized by the General Assembly that any
8 site used for the concentration and storage of radioactive
9 waste material will represent a continuing and perpetual
10 responsibility in the interests of the public health, safety
11 and general welfare, and that the same must ultimately be
12 reposed in a sovereign government without regard for the
13 existence or nonexistence of any particular agency,
14 instrumentality, department, division or officer thereof. In
15 all instances lands, buildings and grounds which are to be
16 designated as sites for the concentration and storage of
17 radioactive waste materials shall be acquired in fee simple
18 absolute and dedicated in perpetuity to such purpose. All
19 rights, title and interest in, of and to any radioactive waste
20 materials accepted by IEMA-OHS [the Agency] for permanent
21 storage at such facilities, shall upon acceptance become the
22 property of the State and shall be in all respects
23 administered, controlled, and disposed of, including transfer
SB3660 - 2 - LRB104 18375 WRO 31817 b
1 by sale, lease, loan or otherwise, by IEMA-OHS [the Agency] in
2 the name of the State. All fees received pursuant to contracts
3 entered into by IEMA-OHS [the Agency] shall be deposited in the
4 State Treasury and shall be set apart in a special fund to be
5 known as the "Radioactive Waste Site Perpetual Care Fund".
6 Monies deposited in the fund shall be expended by IEMA-OHS [the ]
7 [Agency] to monitor and maintain the site as required to protect
8 the public health and safety on a continuing and perpetual
9 basis. All payments received by IEMA-OHS (formerly the
10 Department of Nuclear Safety) [the Department of Nuclear Safety ]
11 [(now the Agency)] pursuant to the settlement agreement entered
12 May 25, 1988, in the matter of the People of the State of
13 Illinois, et al. v. Teledyne, Inc., et al. (No. 78 MR 25,
14 Circuit Court, Bureau County, Illinois) shall be held by the
15 State Treasurer separate and apart from all public moneys or
16 funds of the State, and shall be used only as provided in such
17 settlement agreement. Interest earned by the investment or
18 deposit of moneys accumulated in the fund pursuant to the
19 settlement agreement shall be deposited into the Radioactive
20 Waste Site Perpetual Care Fund for the continued maintenance
21 of the Sheffield Low-Level Radioactive Waste Site and the

24 Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
25 becoming law.

Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Provides that all fees received pursuant to contracts or agreements (rather than contracts only) entered into by IEMA-OHS shall be set apart in a special fund to be known as the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Facility Operation Fund (rather than the Radioactive Waste Site Perpetual Care Fund). Provides that all payments received by IEMA-OHS (formerly the Department of Nuclear Safety) pursuant to the settlement agreement entered May 25, 1988, in the matter of the People of the Illinois, et al. v. Teledyne, Inc., et al. (No. 78 MR 25, Circuit Court, Bureau County, Illinois) shall be held in the Sheffield February 1982 Agreed Order Fund by the State Treasurer separate and apart from all public moneys or funds of the State, and shall only be used as provided in such settlement agreement. Provides that interest earned by investment of moneys accumulated in the Sheffield February 1982 Agreed Order Fund shall be deposited into the Sheffield February 1982 Agreed Order Fund (rather than the Radioactive Waste Site Perpetual Care Fund) for the continued maintenance of the Sheffield Low-Level Radioactive Waste Site and surrounding buffer zone to protect the public health and safety on a continuing and perpetual basis.
