What This Bill Does

This bill creates a new section in the Utah Construction Trades Licensing Act governing radon mitigation.

Key Provisions

This bill:

  • requires a person that installs, repairs, maintains, cleans, or replaces a radon mitigation system to complete training and certification;
  • requires an individual who sells radon mitigation or vents a radon mitigation system to complete training and certification;
  • requires an employer to ensure that an employee performing radon mitigation work obtains required training and certification before performing that work; and
  • authorizes the division to exempt an individual from certification requirements if the individual works under direct one-to-one supervision of a certified professional.

Plain-Language Summary

AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Under this bill, anyone who installs, repairs, maintains, cleans, replaces, sells, or vents a radon mitigation system — the equipment used to reduce dangerous radon gas levels in buildings — must complete state-required training and certification before doing that work, and employers must ensure their workers are certified before starting. The state division overseeing construction trades can waive the certification requirement for individuals working directly under a certified professional's one-to-one supervision.
