A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AMEND THE SOUTHEAST INTERSTATE LOW-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT COMPACT CONCERNING ACCEPTANCE OF WASTES FROM PARTY STATES IF NORTH CAROLINA BECOMES THE HOST STATE.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 104F-5 reads as rewritten:
"§ 104F-5. Withdrawal from Compact.
If any member refuses to accept its designation as a host state, then North Carolina shall immediately withdraw from the Compact subject to the provisions of G.S. 104F-1, Article VII(g)	and take appropriate action to limit access to any facility located in this State.
If North Carolina determines at any time that any member state is not acting in good faith in complying with all of the terms of the Compact, then North Carolina shall withdraw immediately.
In the event North Carolina is chosen as a host state and a facility is constructed, no waste may be shipped into North Carolina from any party state if that party state will not accept from North Carolina any type of wastes, including but not limited to radioactive, hazardous, and solid waste, which that party state is currently handling, processing, burying, and/or incinerating within its jurisdiction."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
