2008 Legislation Update

I have great news to add to the blog. Rep. Karen May has introduced HB4789. The bill was introduced February 6, 2008. The synopsis of the bill reads as follows:

"Amends the Radon Industry Licensing Act. Requires the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, in coordination with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Pollution Control Board, to adopt rules for radon control for all new residential buildings. Requires that these rules incorporate the radon control methods set forth in the International Residential Code. Effective immediately."

This is great news. Thank you Karen.

We will need your assistance in shepherding this bill through the Legislature.

Check back here often for updates.
