Bill > HB2995

This bill establishes a licensing system for individuals and businesses involved in radon services, including measurement, mitigation, inspection, and laboratory analysis, effective January 1, 2027. It creates a "Board of Radon Safety" within the division of professional registration to oversee this process, which will issue licenses to those who meet specific certification requirements from EPA-recognized proficiency programs, maintain general liability insurance, and pay associated fees. The bill defines key terms like "radon" (a radioactive gas that can be a health hazard), "measurement" (testing for radon), "mitigation" (reducing radon levels), and "certified" (meeting program standards). It outlines requirements for measurement professionals, mitigation professionals, radon mitigation inspectors, and radon laboratories, including maintaining certifications, adhering to standards, and reporting activities. The bill also addresses business entity licensing, insurance mandates with specific coverage amounts for different professionals, license renewal procedures, and grounds for refusal or revocation of licenses, such as fraud, incompetence, or failure to maintain insurance. Furthermore, it grants the Board authority to examine records, conduct inspections, and issue stop orders to ensure compliance with radon safety regulations, and establishes a dedicated "Radon Control Fund" for the administration and enforcement of these provisions.
