Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill establishes the Maine Gold Standard for Radon Testing and Mitigation Initiative within the Department of Health and human Services to reward, recognize, promote and assist landlords, homeowners and home builders who participate in radon testing and mitigation activities. If the landlord, homeowner or home builder meets certain requirements of the program, they will be able to receive $600 towards any mitigation required after the testing is complete. As it is unknown how many landlords, homeowners or home builders would do the required testing to meet the requirements of the program and how many of the tests would result in high levels that require mitigation, no cost estimate is made at this time.
