Senate Bill 1804 postpones the effective date of certain Texas Radiation Control Act provisions relating to a disposal surcharge and state fee.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "Senate Bill 1804 was a laudable effort to address domestic violence, until someone slipped in an ill-considered giveaway to a radioactive waste disposal facility. Unfortunately, the bill author's good idea about domestic violence has been dragged down by a bad idea about radioactive waste."
