An Act To Delay the Implementation of the Rental Housing Radon Testing Requirement
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 14 MRSA §6030-D, sub-§1, as amended by PL 2009, c. 566, §19, is further amended to read:
1. Testing. By 2012 March 1, 2015 and every 10 years thereafter, a landlord or other person who on behalf of a landlord enters into a lease or tenancy at will agreement for a residential building shall have the air of the residential building tested for the presence of radon. A test required to be performed under this section must be conducted by a person registered with the Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to Title 22, chapter 165.
summary
Current law requires the owners of residential rental property to begin testing the air in that rental property for the presence of radon by 2012. This bill delays the date by which testing must be done to March 1, 2015.
