SF 43: Authorizing cities to require radon testing for single family residences used as rental property

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill gives authority to cities to adopt or enforce ordinances that require radon testing for a single family residence when the owner applies for or renews a rental permit with the city. A “single family residence” means a structure maintained and used as a single dwelling unit, notwithstanding that a dwelling unit generally shares one or more walls with another dwelling unit and the structure has direct access to a street or thoroughfare and shares neither heating facilities, hot water equipment, nor any other essential facility or service with another dwelling unit.
