SB 25-252 — Repeal Radiation Advisory Committee (Governor Signed)

Purpose / Intent

SB 25-252 repeals the statutory board known as the "Radiation Advisory Committee." The title indicates the bill’s primary effect is elimination of that advisory body from statute, removing whatever authorities, duties, membership appointments, and reporting responsibilities were previously established for the Committee.

Key provisions (based on bill title and legislative summary)

  • Eliminates the Radiation Advisory Committee from state law.
  • Terminates statutory provisions that created or governed the Committee, which may include:
    • Membership composition and appointment process
    • Committee duties (advice to agencies, rule review, public outreach, reports)
    • Meeting and reporting requirements
  • No amendments were adopted during legislative consideration.

Note: The bill text itself is required to identify exactly which statute(s) are being repealed and whether any of the Committee’s duties, records, or pending obligations are transferred to another entity. That detailed statutory language is not included in the summary provided.

Who is affected

  • State agencies that previously relied on the Committee for formal advice or review (for example, departments responsible for public health, environmental protection, or occupational safety) — they may lose an established advisory mechanism.
  • Current or prospective Committee members (appointments would be ended).
  • Regulated entities and stakeholders that used the Committee as a forum (medical facilities using radiation, industrial radiography firms, radioactive materials licensees, public interest groups) — potential loss of an advisory or stakeholder engagement channel.
  • The public may be affected indirectly if the Committee played a role in oversight, guidance, or community outreach.

Impact and outstanding questions

  • Fiscal impact: likely minimal unless the repeal requires transferring responsibilities, records, or continuity obligations to another body (bill text or fiscal note would confirm).
  • Administrative impact: agencies may need to identify alternative advisory mechanisms or update rules and guidance that referenced the Committee.
  • Effective date: Not listed here — consult the final enrolled bill or state statutes to confirm when the repeal takes effect.
