HCS/HCRs 21 & 22 - This House Concurrent Resolution urges the Missouri Attorney General, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services to conduct a joint investigation into whether the State of Missouri and its residents could receive monetary compensation from the United States Government for contamination of the environment in Missouri with radioactive and other hazardous contaminants as a result of the production of military explosive weapons and nuclear weapons, dumping contaminants and equipment, and other activities conducted by the United States Government in Missouri, to the extent that conducting such an investigation will cost the Attorney General, The Department of Natural Resources, and the Department of Health and Senior Services no additional moneys and resources. This concurrent resolution requests that the Missouri Congressional delegation expand the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act or other current or newly created federally funded compensation program to include Missouri residents exposed to nuclear waste from the Manhattan Project and look for additional funding opportunities for education for medical providers, health screenings for residents exposed to nuclear waste from such project, and medical care necessitated by such exposure.
