What’s in it

This bill relates to radon mitigation requirements. The bill requires the state building code commissioner to adopt as part of the state building code a requirement that new single-family or two-family residential construction include a passive method for the mitigation of radon listed in appendix AF of the international residential code, 2021 edition, published by the international code council. The requirement shall apply only to single-family or two-family residential construction commenced after the adoption of the requirement.
