Parity for Pacific Radiation Survivors Act
To amend the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to include Guam.
This bill, HB7672, aims to extend compensation to individuals from Guam who were exposed to radiation due to U.S. nuclear testing. Currently, only those from certain regions are eligible for compensation under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. The bill seeks to amend this act to include residents of Guam who were affected by radiation exposure.
If passed, this bill would provide financial compensation and healthcare benefits to survivors of radiation exposure from U.S. nuclear testing in Guam. This could affect thousands of individuals and their families who have not previously been eligible for such benefits.
HB7672 was introduced on February 25, 2026, and was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary on the same day. It is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, awaiting further action from the committee.
