Illinois Radon Awareness Act
(Reitz, D-Sparta; Haine, D-Alton) changes the disclosure requirements under this Act and also expands it to leased property. If a lessee notifies a lessor that a radon test indicates a radon hazard in the dwelling unit, then the lessor must disclose that risk to any prospective lessee of that unit unless a later test indicates that it no longer exists. But if a lessor’s test indicates a radon hazard, then the lessor must notify current and prospective tenants of that unit. This Act does not apply to dwelling units located on the third floor or higher story or if the lessor has undertaken mitigation activities and a later test indicates that a radon hazard no longer exists. Passed both chambers.
