Bill > SF2989

This bill modifies existing Minnesota statutes related to radon detection and mitigation firms' licensure by removing specific effective date language while maintaining the core licensing requirements. The bill authorizes the commissioner of health to adopt rules establishing licensure requirements and work standards for indoor radon detection and mitigation services in dwellings and buildings (excluding newly constructed homes). Under the revised statute, every person, firm, or corporation performing radon-related services for compensation—such as detecting radon presence, conducting laboratory analysis, or mitigating radon in indoor environments—must obtain an annual license. The bill eliminates previous references to specific implementation dates (like January 1, 2019) that were in the original law, which suggests the licensing requirements are now considered standard and ongoing. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can pose significant health risks when concentrated indoors, is the focus of these regulatory provisions aimed at ensuring professional standards in detection and mitigation services.
