Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar calls for Congressional power shift to pass an updated Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), aiming to extend and expand a compensation program for people exposed to radiation from uranium mining and nuclear testing.
The Senate passed the bill earlier this year, but it stalled in the House due to concerns over costs, leading it to expire in June.

The updated act would include parts of Arizona, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, and Guam, covering residents and workers exposed to radioactive waste in various states.
