This bill introduces a new section to chapter 47-10 of the North Dakota Century Code, mandating that sellers of residential real property disclose any known radon hazards to potential buyers before finalizing a sale. The bill defines key terms such as "buyer," "seller," "mitigation," and "testing," and requires sellers to provide a written disclosure statement about radon gas, including its health risks and the availability of additional information from local health units or the state environmental department. If a seller is aware that the property has undergone radon testing, they must also provide the test results and any evidence of mitigation to the buyer.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that sellers or their agents are not liable for claims related to the presence of radon gas or radon progeny, provided they comply with the disclosure requirements. It clarifies that the disclosure does not create a contingency for the purchase or a right to rescind the contract unless explicitly stated in the agreement. This legislation aims to enhance transparency regarding radon hazards in residential properties, thereby protecting buyers and promoting informed decision-making.
