St. Louis RECA Readjustment Act

The St. Louis RECA Readjustment Act would expand eligibility under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) for claims related to Manhattan Project waste by adding two more ZIP codes to the list of eligible areas. Specifically, ZIP codes 63106 and 63107 would be included after 63074, broadening who may file for compensation for radiation exposure tied to Manhattan Project waste in the St. Louis area. The change is designed to be treated as if it were part of Public Law 119-21 when enacted, meaning it would take effect alongside that prior law. In short, the bill increases access to RECA-related compensation for residents in these additional St. Louis ZIP codes without creating a new program; it simply extends the existing Manhattan Project waste claim framework to cover more localities.
