State Building Codes and Radon:

Per AARST-NRPP: "Building codes are the key policies that determine how homes and other buildings are designed and constructed. In some states, the state legislature, an executive branch agency, or an appointed board decide what’s in the building code for the entire state. In other states, local entities (counties, cities, towns, etc.) traditionally decide what’s in the building code. Nine states (CT, IL, MA, MD, MI, MN, NJ, OR, WA) require radon-resistant construction methods. Since homes with high radon have been found in every zone, IL and MN protect homes in all areas; other states only require RRNC in homes in Zone 1 counties. Four states (IL, MN, NJ, WA) cover all types of homes; four states (CT, MA, MD, MI) limit protection to one and two family homes and townhouses; one state (OR) covers the same plus apartments"
