AN ACT ESTABLISHING A RADON MITIGATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS.

HB 6942 establishes a state-funded radon mitigation program for low-income households in Connecticut. The bill creates a "Healthy Homes Fund" within the Department of Housing to cover the cost of removing or fixing radon hazards in homes, specifically targeting households earning at or below 80% of the state's median income. The program will be administered by the Department of Housing, using dedicated funds from existing remittance accounts, with annual reports required for legislative oversight. This policy directly affects eligible homeowners by providing financial assistance to address a known health risk (radon gas) in their residences. The program becomes effective July 1, 2025.
