CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SCR 16 - This concurrent resolution urges the Missouri Attorney General, the Department of Natural Resources, and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services to jointly investigate whether the State of Missouri and its residents could potentially receive monetary compensation from the U.S. government for contamination of the environment in Missouri with radioactive and other hazardous waste as a result of the production of military explosive weapons and nuclear weapons, dumping contaminants and equipment. The Attorney General shall report the results of the investigation to the General Assembly by December 31, 2023.
