A 4315 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns radon testing in certain schools and institutions of higher education.

This bill requires all public schools, private schools, and colleges in New Jersey to test buildings for radon gas or radon progeny at least once every five years. Buildings not tested within the prior five years must be tested within 60 days of the law's effective date, while those tested recently must follow the five-year cycle. School administrators (like principals or college leaders) must work with environmental agencies to identify testing locations, methods, and notify the public about results. The law repeals an expired previous requirement that only applied to public schools, now extending testing to all schools and colleges equally.
