AI Summary

  • Mandates all occupied school buildings be tested for radon by January 1, 2029, with retesting every 5 years thereafter, changing current law from a recommendation to a requirement

  • Makes confirmatory testing and mitigation mandatory when radon levels reach 4.0 pCi/L or above, with mitigation required within 2 years by a licensed professional; previous law only recommended these actions
