Bill > SB223

This bill modifies Kentucky's laws regarding the Kentucky Board of Radon Safety by expanding the board's membership and clarifying its responsibilities. Specifically, the bill increases the board's membership from seven to nine members, adding two new positions: one representing a public health organization and another serving as a citizen-at-large who is not financially connected to radon-related professional practices. The bill requires the new public health organization representative to have at least three years of experience in public or environmental health. The board's term appointments are adjusted to accommodate these new members, with initial appointments for the new positions set at two years. The bill also changes the board's core mission from "control" to "safety" of radon measurement, mitigation, and laboratory analysis professionals, and adds a provision allowing the board to work with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services on educational programs about radon health risks. These changes aim to broaden the board's perspective, increase public representation, and enhance its focus on professional safety and public health education related to radon exposure.
