Illinois SB2438 amends the School Code to require all school buildings to be tested for radon by January 1, 2029, and every 5 years thereafter. If radon levels are found to be 4.0 pCi/L or above, the school district must hire a licensed radon professional to perform confirmatory measurements before any mitigation decisions are made. The bill also mandates that new schools be built using radon-resistant techniques and allows school districts to use life safety funds for radon testing and mitigation.
