Illinois SB2438, known as the School Radon Protection Act, requires every occupied school building to be tested for radon by January 1, 2029, and every five years thereafter. The bill mandates that new schools be built using radon-resistant techniques. If radon levels exceed 4.0 pCi/L, the school district must hire a licensed radon professional for confirmatory measurements. The school district can use life safety funds for testing and mitigation. Home rule units are preempted from regulating school radon issues.
