summary

This amendment replaces the bill. The amendment requires a landlord or other lessor of a residential building to test the residential building for radon by 2012 and every 10 years thereafter. The bill would have required testing every 5 years. The amendment clarifies that the testing and mitigation, if necessary, must be performed by a person registered with the Department of Health and Human Services. If a level of radon at 4.0 picocuries per liter of air or above is detected, the amendment also requires landlords to mitigate the radon until it is reduced to a level below 4.0 picocuries per liter of air. The mitigation must occur within 6 months or, if any local permits are required prior to mitigation, within 6 months of obtaining the necessary permits. The bill would have required mitigation immediately and did not include a specific radon level to trigger the mitigation requirement. The amendment reduces the financial penalty for a violation from $500 to $250. The amendment also requires persons registered with the department to include the street address of the property and any additional data required when reporting the provision of mitigation services under current law.
