The proposed bill seeks to amend chapter 324 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by establishing a comprehensive licensing framework for radon industry professionals and businesses. It mandates that, starting December 31, 2026, individuals and entities must obtain private certification and state licensing to perform radon measurement, mitigation, inspection, or laboratory analysis for compensation. The bill outlines the responsibilities of various professionals, including the maintenance of certification, adherence to quality assurance standards, and the requirement for liability insurance. It also allows homeowners to conduct their own radon tests and install mitigation systems under certain conditions, while the newly created Board of Radon Safety will oversee the implementation of these regulations. Additionally, the bill introduces the "Radon Control Fund" to support the board's activities, which will include promoting radon testing, issuing licenses, and developing educational programs about radon health risks. The board will consist of seven members from relevant fields and will have the authority to enforce compliance with radon regulations, including conducting inspections and issuing stop orders for non-compliant radon mitigation systems. License renewal procedures are specified, along with grounds for refusal or revocation of licenses. The bill also requires measurement and mitigation professionals to maintain records for a minimum of five years and to report specific service information to the board, ensuring transparency while protecting individual privacy.
