A bill for an act relating to a standing appropriation to the department of health and human services to make free radon test kits available to homeowners and renters in the state.(See HF 707.)

House File 364 (HF364) is a bill introduced in the Iowa General Assembly that proposes allocating $20,000 annually from the state's general fund to the Department of Health and Human Services. This funding is intended to provide free radon test kits to homeowners and renters across Iowa. The department would select a radon testing laboratory to supply, distribute, and analyze these kits, with the requirement that the laboratory shares the test results with the department upon request. Additionally, the department would offer an online platform for residents to order the test kits. The bill was introduced on February 12, 2025, and was later renumbered as HF707 on March 3, 2025.

Positive media analysis is being generated.

Although direct media critiques of HF364 are not found, potential concerns could arise regarding the sufficiency of the $20,000 annual appropriation to cover the demand for free radon test kits statewide. Additionally, some may question the effectiveness of the program in ensuring that residents not only receive the test kits but also use them and take necessary actions based on the results.
