§ 68-202-407. Donations.

In addition, the state may acquire voluntary contributions, donations, or other transfers from the specific licensee, or third persons, including other governmental agencies, in order to provide the necessary services to protect the public health, safety or welfare at contaminated sites or at abandoned, inoperative, or decommissioned facilities owning, storing, or otherwise possessing radioactive materials. Any such transfer of cash, land, or other assets is subject to the approval and acceptance of the donation by the commissioner. In the event that a person or entity licensed by a governmental agency, other than the state of Tennessee, should ever attempt to transfer an abandoned, inoperative, or decommissioned facility owning, storing, or otherwise possessing radioactive materials to the custody of the state of Tennessee, the commissioner shall require that the person transferring the facility make a lump sum contribution to the radiation reclamation trust fund or the perpetual care trust fund pursuant to § 68-202-402 in an amount to be determined by the commissioner by rule, regulation, or order based upon the rule or regulation.
