Bill > H2044

This bill directs the Department of Public Health (DPH) to create rules and regulations that would require certain child care programs, as licensed or authorized by the Department of Early Education and Care, and public schools to regularly test for radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can be harmful to health, especially in enclosed spaces. These regulations, which are contingent on available funding, will also specify how often testing should occur, what records need to be kept, what levels of radon are considered safe, and what steps should be taken if unsafe levels are detected, with the DPH responsible for making these details public within one year of the bill becoming law.
