Died when the session ended · The 2022 session adjourned on May 24, 2022, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill relates to testing for radon at public schools. The bill defines “short-term test” as a test using a device that remains in an area for two to seven days to determine the amount of radon in the air. The bill requires the board of directors of each public school district to have a short-term test for radon gas performed at each attendance center under its control at least once by July 1, 2026, and at least once every five years thereafter. Each school district shall publish its most recent results on its internet site.
