Montana SR14 urges Congress to include Montanans in the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act.
Montana SR14 urges Congress to amend the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to include Montanans. The resolution highlights that Montana was significantly affected by the U.S. government's nuclear tests from 1945 to 1962, with 15 of the 25 most exposed counties located in the state. Despite a 1997 government study suggesting Montana should be included, impacted Montanans still lack access to testing and compensation. The resolution emphasizes the importance of this issue for many Montanans who have suffered or died from radiation exposure, potentially due to the nation's nuclear testing.
