SF 366 – Radon levels in schools
FLOOR ACTION:
SF 366 was approved by the Senate in 2013. The Senate accepted a House strike-after amendment. Highlights of SF 366, as amended, include:
• Directing the Department of Education (DE) to notify each school district and accredited nonpublic school of the risks associated with radon gas. The notification is to include information on and sources of funding available for radon testing and mitigation. The DE must encourage schools to implement a radon testing and mitigation plan.
• Requiring school districts to notify the DE by December 1, 2014, about whether they have a radon testing and mitigation plan. If they do not have a plan in place, they must notify the DE about any plans to implement one in the future.
