Bill Summary

Information and disclosures concerning radon. Establishes that, before signing a purchase agreement to sell or transfer residential property, an individual or entity issued a broker's real estate license by the Indiana real estate commission representing a seller shall ensure that the seller: (1) provides a radon warning statement to the buyer; (2) discloses in writing to the buyer any knowledge the seller has of radon concentrations in the dwelling; and (3) provides the buyer with a guide on radon, testing, and mitigation published by the Indiana department of health.

AI Summary

This bill amends Indiana real estate law to require licensed real estate brokers representing property sellers to ensure three specific actions before finalizing a property sale: (1) provide a written radon warning statement to the buyer that explains the potential health risks of radon, including its status as a Class A human carcinogen and leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers; (2) disclose in writing any known information about radon concentrations in the dwelling, including past test results, current radon levels, mitigation efforts, and details of any installed radon mitigation systems; and (3) provide the buyer with a radon information guide published by the Indiana Department of Health. The bill applies these disclosure requirements to all types of residential property transfers, including sales, exchanges, leases with purchase options, and other property transfers. The buyer must acknowledge receipt of these materials by signing a notification. The law will take effect on July 1, 2026, and aims to increase transparency and awareness about radon risks during real estate transactions by mandating comprehensive disclosure from sellers through their licensed real estate representatives.
