SB2681

SB2681 amends the Public Utilities Act to expedite the approval process for new small modular nuclear reactors in Illinois.

SB2681 amends the Public Utilities Act to streamline the approval process for new small modular nuclear reactors. It mandates that applicable state agencies take final action on an application for a new small modular nuclear reactor within 150 days after it is deemed complete. If the initial 150-day period is not extended, failure to act within this timeframe results in automatic approval of the application. The bill also allows for an additional 150-day extension for good cause.
