Bill overview
The Downwinders Parity Act of 2023 aims to expand the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to provide compensation to individuals and communities affected by radioactive contamination. Specifically, it amends the act to include additional areas impacted by nuclear testing, primarily in Nevada, and clarifies the criteria for determining eligibility for compensation. The bill seeks to ensure that those harmed by past nuclear activities receive the same benefits as those affected by other environmental hazards. It also requires the Attorney General to report on outreach efforts to inform newly eligible individuals about the available benefits.
