What the Gail Orcutt School Radon Safety Act Requires

House File 2412 — Iowa Code 280.32 (effective July 1, 2022)

Every public school district must establish a radon testing plan and schedule. Each attendance center must be tested for radon at least once by July 1, 2027, and at least once every 5 years after that.

  • Testing must be performed by an Iowa-certified Radon Measurement Specialist, or by district staff who've completed an approved training program
  • Results must be posted on the district's website in a timely manner
  • If a short-term test comes back at or above 4 pCi/L, a second short-term test must follow within 60 days
  • If levels are confirmed above 4 pCi/L, the district must engage an Iowa-credentialed Radon Mitigation Specialist and complete a mitigation plan within 2 years
  • All new school construction must use radon-resistant construction techniques (RRNC)

We Handle the Full Requirement, Start to Finish

  • Testing performed by a NRPP and Iowa-certified Radon Measurement Specialist
  • Testing based on ANSI/AARST MALB-2014 protocols for schools and large buildings
  • Clear documentation to support your district's posting and compliance requirements
  • If levels come back elevated, a full mitigation plan from a NRPP and Iowa-credentialed Radon Mitigation Specialist — completed within your 2-year window
  • Radon-resistant construction guidance for new school building projects
