Key Provisions:

- Mandates radon testing for all residential and commercial buildings prior to sale or major renovation
- Establishes a state-run radon testing and mitigation program, including subsidies for low-income households
- Provides tax credits for the cost of radon mitigation systems installed in buildings
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Homeowners, renters, and commercial property owners will be required to test for and mitigate radon as part of real estate transactions
- Low-income households may benefit from state-funded radon testing and mitigation assistance
- Real estate professionals will need to incorporate radon disclosures into their practices
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The bill has been reported favorably by committee and referred to the House Ways and Means committee for further consideration. If passed, the new radon testing and mitigation requirements would likely take effect within 6-12 months to allow time for implementation.
