ILLINOIS GENERAL ASSEMBLY Click here to Read the New Illinois Radon Awareness Act |
new rule, passed this past spring, requires sellers to provide an educational pamphlet to buyers concerning radon. IAR's Legal Counsel, Betsy Urbance opines, "In short, before a buyer will become bound on a contract to purchase real estate the seller will be required to provide a pamphlet entitled “Radon Testing Guidelines for Real Estate Transactions” and the Illinois Disclosure of Information on Radon Hazards. The language of the latter is set forth by statute. The pamphlet will be provided by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Division of Nuclear Safety." IAR is currently developing a brochure (akin to the carbon monoxide brochure) which explains the law in layman's terms. The IAR produced brochure has a release date in late October. The original bill, opposed by Realtors, required all sellers to do a radon test and mitigate any radon levels before a contract could be written. The Realtor Advocacy team of Capitol Conference Realtors, Greg St. Aubin, Julie Sullivan, Neil Malone and the Realtor Legislative Contacts all worked to get this bill rewritten into something that would not delay transactions. |
Radon disclosure House Bill 1425 (Reitz, D-Sparta; Trotter, D-Chicago) creates the Illinois Radon Awareness Act. It requires before the sale of any residential real property that the seller give to the buyer a new statutory form that states the property may present the potential for radon exposure. Exempts seven other kinds of transactions such as under a court order, judicial deed, and from one co-owner to another. Passed both chambers. Effective January 1, 2008 |
