§ 52:27d-123a.
The Commissioner of Community Affairs shall adopt, pursuant to the “Administrative
Procedure Act,” P.L.1968, c. 410 ( C.52:14B-1 et seq. ), a radon hazard code, or may propose amendments to revise the appropriate model
code adopted pursuant to the “State Uniform Construction Code Act,” P.L.1975, c. 217
( C.52:27D-119 et seq. ), for the purpose of establishing adequate and appropriate standards to ensure that
schools and residential buildings within tier one areas, as defined by the Department
of Environmental Protection pursuant to P.L.1985, c. 408 ( C.26:2D-59 et seq. ), are constructed in a manner that minimizes radon gas and radon progeny entry and
facilitates any subsequent remediation that might prove necessary. In preparing the radon hazard code standards, the commissioner shall employ a guideline
of four picocuries per liter or such other action level standard as the Department
of Environmental Protection may establish subsequent to the effective date of this
act. The department shall include in the radon hazard code standards such testing requirements
as may prove reliable, practical and economical to identify sites where a proposed
school or residential building will require construction in a manner that minimizes
radon gas and radon progeny entry and facilitates any subsequent remediation. If a feasible predictive test method is developed, then the standards adopted pursuant
to the “State Uniform Construction Code Act,” P.L.1975, c. 217 ( C.52:27D-119 et seq. ), shall be revised to include such further changes in construction standards as may
be necessary to prevent the entry of radon gas and radon progeny into new schools
or residential buildings. No person who constructs a school or residential building in compliance with these
standards anywhere within the State shall thereafter be held liable for the presence
of radon gas or radon progeny in the school or residential building, or for any losses
or damage to persons or property resulting therefrom.
