2. Why We Don’t Have An Issue
Radon Industry Licensing Act – 420 ILCS 44
 (420 ILCS 44/40)     Sec. 40. Interference. No person shall interfere with or cause another person to interfere with the successful completion of a radon measurement or the installation or operation of a radon mitigation system. This Section applies to persons required to be licensed under this Act and to persons not required to be licensed under this Act. (Source: P.A , eff )

3. What Complaints Do We Get?
Association not allowing measurement to take place
Association board not approving mitigation system to be installed
**Almost all complaints/ issues coming from licensee’s**

5. Applying the Rule What Associations CAN Do:
Specify a location on the building the system must run up
Specify that it must be an interior system
Allow for a chase to be built to conceal the exterior pipe system
What Associations CANNOT Do:
Decide a mitigation system cannot be installed in a building
Decide a measurement cannot be performed in a building
