What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Health Services (DHS) is required to develop standards of performance for the regional radon centers and distribute funds based on compliance with the standards to provide radon protection information dissemination from the regional radon centers. Radon is a radioactive noble gas.
This bill requires that to place a device to measure the amount of radon in a building (radon measurement) for a fee a person must complete instruction in a radon measurement course that is approved by DHS and a radon measurement proficiency examination that is also approved by DHS. DHS may suspend or revoke the approval of a radon measurement course or a radon measurement proficiency examination if the course or examination fails to satisfy DHS standards or operates under conditions other than those in effect at the time of approval. The radon measurement proficiency examination administrator must notify DHS for inclusion on a registry those individuals who successfully complete the examination.

The bill also requires that to evaluate reports of radon amounts to determine mitigation strategies, design mitigation systems, or install or supervise the installation of mitigation systems (radon mitigation) for a fee a person must successfully complete all of the following that are approved by DHS: a radon measurement course, a radon mitigation course, a radon measurement proficiency examination, and a radon mitigation proficiency examination. DHS, under the bill, may suspend or revoke approval of a radon mitigation course or radon mitigation proficiency examination under the same conditions as it may suspend or revoke a radon measurement course or radon measurement proficiency examination. The radon mitigation proficiency examination administrator must notify DHS for inclusion on a registry those individuals who successfully complete the examination.
Under the bill, anyone who holds a valid credential to perform radon measurement in another state and who submits proof of that credential to DHS may perform radon measurement in this state, to the extent that credential allows, without completing the course and examination approved by DHS. Similarly, anyone who holds a valid credential to perform radon mitigation in another state and who submits proof of that credential to DHS may perform radon mitigation in this state, to the extent the credential allows, without completing the courses and examinations approved by DHS.
