Representative Michaelson Jenet and Representative Sirota, co-prime bill sponsors, presented Senate Bill 23-206, concerning information about radon in residential real property transactions. The bill establishes that buyers or renters of residential property have the right to be informed of whether a property has been tested for elevated levels of radon. The bill requires sellers or landlords of residential property to provide warnings about the dangers of exposure to radon and to disclose certain information about radon presence or mitigation at a specific residential property. If a seller or landlord fails to provide this information, then a buyer or tenant has a cause of action against a seller or landlord. Real estate brokers must take reasonable actions to ensure their clients comply with radon disclosure requirements.
