(420 ILCS 5/2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4302)
Sec. 2.
It is declared to be the policy of the General Assembly to protect
the people of the State of Illinois against adverse health effects resulting
from radiological accidents by establishing a mechanism for emergency
preparedness
to mitigate the effects of such accidents. The General Assembly finds that
it is appropriate that the nuclear industry bear costs
associated
with preparing and implementing plans to deal with the
effects of nuclear accidents. The fees assessed by this Act are intended
to cover the costs of the Nuclear Safety Preparedness Program authorized by
this Act.
