Summary
The Downwinders Parity Act of 2021 aims to expand the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) to include all residents of Mohave County, Arizona, and Clark County, Nevada. Under current law, only individuals living in specific portions of these counties during atmospheric nuclear testing are eligible for federal compensation if they developed certain cancers or illnesses. This bill would remove those geographic restrictions, ensuring that any individual who lived anywhere within these two counties during the testing periods can apply for the same financial restitution as those in previously designated zones.
