No benefits agreement shall be finally effective until authorized by the legislature under W.S. 35-11-1506.

The benefits agreement shall be attached to and made part of any permit for the facility. Failure to adhere to the benefits agreement shall be considered grounds for enforcement up to and including permit termination. No benefits agreement as provided in this section shall limit or waive any rights afforded to the state by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, as of March 1, 1995, including any right to disapprove any site or siting.
