Bill Summary
Amending the act of July 9, 1987 (P.L.238, No.43), entitled "An act providing for certification of persons who perform radon testing and radon remediation; providing for the confidentiality of certain data; imposing penalties; and making an appropriation," further providing for confidentiality of data.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Radon Certification Act to modify the confidentiality provisions for data related to radon testing and contamination. Specifically, the bill expands the circumstances under which data can be shared, allowing previous property owners to access data gathered during their ownership, in addition to the current property owner. The legislation maintains the existing protection of confidential data collected about individuals and radon contamination at non-public properties, with an exception for legitimate scientific studies as determined by the department. The bill ensures that sensitive information about radon levels in residential dwellings and other private properties remains protected, while providing a mechanism for previous property owners to obtain historical data about the property they once owned. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill's enactment, giving time for the relevant government department to implement the new provisions.
