OSMOND-NOVAK-HASSERT-MEYER. (GEO-KARIS-DILLARD) 420 ILCS 5/4 from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4304 Amends the Illinois Nuclear Safety Preparedness Act. Provides that the fees assessed for each rail shipment of spent nuclear fuel, high-level radioactive waste, or transuranic waste traversing the State or received at or departing from a nuclear power station or away-from-reactor spent fuel, high-level radioactive waste, or transuranic waste storage facility in this State are assessed per truck for each truck shipment rather than per cask for each truck shipment. Provides that single cask truck shipments of greater than 250 miles in Illinois are subject to a surcharge of $25 per mile over 250 miles for the first truck in each shipment. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (Dept. of Nuclear Safety) Currently, the statute assesses a fee of $2,500 per cask for each truck shipment. The bill redefines this assessment to $2,500 per truck. Since a truck shipment only contains one cask, this change has no fiscal impact. The bill also adds a surcharge of $25 on each mile over 250 miles for longer ship- ments, covering the Department's additional costs in inspect- ing and escorting these longer shipments through the State. Shipment fees collected totaled $9,000 in FY1999 and $17,500 in FY2000. These fees have been and continue to be paid primarily by out of state shippers. 00-02-07 H FILED WITH CLERK 00-02-07 H FIRST READING 00-02-07 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 00-02-09 H PRIMARY SPONSOR CHANGED TO OSMOND 00-02-09 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE ENVRMNT ENRGY 00-02-16 H DO PASS/SHORT DEBATE 013-000-000 HENE 00-02-16 H PLACED CALENDAR 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 00-02-17 H FISCAL NOTE FILED 00-02-17 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 00-02-22 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR NOVAK 00-02-22 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR HASSERT 00-02-25 H SECOND READING-SHORT DEBATE 00-02-25 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 00-03-01 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR MEYER 00-03-01 H THIRD READING/SHORT DEBATE/PASSED 116-001-000 00-03-06 S ARRIVE IN SENATE 00-03-06 S PLACED CALENDAR ORDER OF FIRST READING 00-03-07 00-03-06 S CHIEF SPONSOR GEO-KARIS 00-03-06 S FIRST READING 00-03-06 S REFERRED TO SENATE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 00-03-09 S ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE ENVIR & ENE 00-03-22 S ADDED AS A CHIEF CO-SPONSOR DILLARD 00-03-23 S DO PASS 006-000-000 SENV 00-03-23 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 2ND READING 00-03-24 00-03-24 S SECOND READING 00-03-24 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 3RD READING 00-03-28 00-04-05 S THIRD READING - PASSED 056-000-000 00-04-05 H PASSED BOTH HOUSES 00-05-04 H SENT TO THE GOVERNOR 00-06-22 H GOVERNOR APPROVED 00-06-22 H EFFECTIVE DATE 00-06-22 00-06-22 H PUBLIC ACT.............................. 91-0857 END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
