Rhode Island S2424 mandates radon testing for residential real estate transactions, with mitigation required if unsafe levels are detected.

Rhode Island S2424 establishes protocols for radon inspection in residential real estate transactions. It requires radon testing within one year before closing, with the seller covering the costs. If unsafe radon levels are detected, a radon mitigation system must be installed at the seller's expense. 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 these requirements. This act takes effect upon passage.
