Texas SB713 amends the surcharge for disposal and remittance for storage of certain waste at the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact.

Texas SB713 modifies the surcharge for the disposal of nonparty compact waste at the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact facility, reducing it to 15 percent of the total contracted rate. It also changes the distribution of the surcharge, with two-thirds going to the environmental radiation and perpetual care account and the remainder to the host county. Additionally, the bill alters the remittance for the storage of radioactive waste or elemental mercury, requiring 50 percent to be remitted to the comptroller for the general revenue fund and the remainder to the host county.
