Bill > HB5625

This bill modifies the requirements for licensing individuals and businesses involved with radon, a radioactive gas that can be harmful to health. It introduces a new term, "RRNC," which stands for radon resistant new construction, referring to passive techniques used during the building of new homes to reduce radon levels. The bill mandates that building contractors must use a licensed radon mitigation specialist or contractor when building an RRNC home. Additionally, it clarifies that laboratories analyzing radon samples require a valid license and allows the director, who oversees the licensing program, to conduct inspections of radon mitigation systems. The bill also makes minor wording changes, such as replacing "shall" with "may" in certain contexts, to reflect current legislative language.
