What the new radon legislation means for your district
By Chad Siems
A new Radon Testing Bill was signed into law on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, requiring thorough and more frequent radon testing for schools.
Shive-Hattery is experienced in radon testing and beyond for school districts including the development of your entire mitigation and compliance plan. Shive-Hattery will proactively reach out to you as legislation changes and new deadlines approach. This best practice has helped many school districts from compliance woes.
Here’s what the new radon legislation means for your district:
Testing must be performed by a person certified to conduct radon tests. This could be a contractor or a district employee that has completed a school radon testing training program.
Make your radon plan and complete your first round of tests by the January 1, 2027 deadline.
Although this may seem like plenty of time, please remember January 1, 2027 deadline applies to testing every classroom in every building in your district. There are more than 350 districts in the State working to meet the same deadline. Get started early!
