The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is delaying the requirement in Minnesota Statutes, section 144.4961, subdivision 8(5), and Minnesota Rules 4632.7600 to purchase and attach radon mitigation tags until September 1, 2020. The post-mitigation checklist requirement is also delayed until September 1, 2020.
MDH considered the request regarding the financial burden expressed by some radon professionals and legislators. Delaying the radon mitigation tag cost will reduce the financial burden over the next three months and provide financial relief from COVID-19-caused decline in business.
All other licensing requirements are still required starting on June 1, 2020. This includes initial training and passing exams to apply for a professional license. In addition, professionals must follow standards of conduct, follow work practices, report data, and complete ongoing continuing education.
For more information on licensing and to apply for a license, see the MDH Radon Licensing System.
In addition, MDH will, upon request, refund those radon-mitigation businesses for their previously- purchased radon mitigation tags. In the alternative, those businesses may hold onto the tags and use them on or after September 1, 2020.
If you have any questions, please contact the MDH Indoor Air Unit.
