MO HB2286

Establishes the Missouri Radon Certification Program within the Department of Health and Senior Services requiring national and state certification for all individuals and businesses providing radon services (measurement, mitigation, laboratory analysis) in Missouri beginning January 1, 2011.

Requires certification through either the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) or the National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) Certified Radon Professional Program (CRPP), with violations punishable by fines up to $1,000 per violation.

Exempts from certification requirements: property owners testing or mitigating their own buildings, designers of radon-resistant new construction, state officials conducting tests in state facilities, and scientific researchers who disclose their lack of certification.

Requires radon mitigation providers to include statements in contracts recommending independent testing within 24-30 days after system installation and mandates a certified mitigator be present at all job sites to ensure compliance with NEHA/NRSB protocols and local codes.

Establishes complaint investigation procedures with a 30-day remedy period and appeals review panel comprised of certified radon mitigators and a department representative, with potential penalties including restitution up to $1,000 per complaint and referral to national certifying organizations for disciplinary action.
