Bill would force radon testing, mitigation costs on schools without additional funding – Center Square

State Sen. Laura Ellman, who sponsored SB 2438, admitted the cost of radon testing for school buildings could be in the tens of thousands of dollars, but she said medical costs to deal with radon exposure would also be high.

Great post! Requiring radon testing and mitigation in schools is important for student and staff safety, but placing the burden on schools without providing additional funding could strain already tight budgets. A balanced approach with state or federal support would help ensure both safety and financial feasibility.

If the schools will pay for it they in turn will use it as an expense pushing the bills they pay to the local taxpayers. The state will still pay the usual 30% or so and taxpayers 67% or so so the state will not pay 100%.
