Bill > HB1126

This bill repeals the current requirement for certification to perform residential mold assessments in New Hampshire. Specifically, the bill eliminates RSA 310-A:189-b, which previously mandated certification for mold assessment professionals. The Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC) is directed to repeal any administrative rules associated with the now-eliminated certification requirement. Additionally, the OPLC must submit a report to the state legislature by January 1, 2027, detailing whether any further statutory changes are needed to fully implement the bill's objectives. The bill will go into effect 60 days after its passage, effectively removing the legal mandate for mold assessors to be certified in the state. This change potentially makes it easier for professionals to conduct residential mold assessments by eliminating the previous certification process, though the report requirement suggests the state wants to monitor potential impacts of this deregulation.
