§ 12-165-102 — Legislative declaration

Colorado·Title 12 Professions·Art. Radon Professionals

The general assembly hereby finds and
declares that the prevalence of Colorado homes with excessive levels of radon has
created a market in which unqualified individuals are representing themselves and
practicing as radon professionals. Radon is the second leading cause of lung
cancer, causing approximately twenty thousand deaths a year in the United States,
including five hundred deaths in Colorado. Therefore, to protect the public, it is
necessary to establish minimum qualifications for radon professionals and to
require professionals who possess such qualifications to acquire a license before
performing radon measurement or radon mitigation.
