Rhode Island H7513 mandates radon testing within one year before closing for residential real estate transactions, with sellers bearing the cost.

Rhode Island H7513 establishes protocols for radon inspection in real estate transactions. It requires a radon test to be performed within one year prior to the closing of any residential real estate transaction, with the seller covering the cost. If unsafe radon levels are detected, a radon mitigation system must be installed by the seller before closing. The act also allows buyers to conduct an additional radon test at their own expense. Certain transactions, such as foreclosures or transfers for non-residential use, are exempt from this requirement.
