A bill for an act relating to mold remediation.

HF 731 establishes standards for mold removal in indoor environments across Iowa. It requires mold remediation companies to register with the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing and prove their direct supervisor holds third-party certification (from groups like IICRC or NORMI). The bill mandates compliance with ANSI/IICRC S520 standards for all mold removal work and directs the Department of Health and Human Services to run a public awareness campaign about mold risks and removal. Additionally, the health department must submit annual reports to the legislature on new mold-related health research and changes in training standards. This directly affects mold removal companies, their supervisors, and public health communications.
