Bill 241: The Buildings Amendment Act (Radon Notice)

This primarily affects homebuilders, residential contractors, and developers in Manitoba who regularly pull building permits for new homes, additions, or renovations on dwellings. Municipal and regional approving authorities (permit offices) will need to source or produce a director-approved radon notice and include it in their standard permit application package. If a contractor applies on behalf of a property owner, that contractor becomes responsible for making sure the owner actually receives the notice — adding a small administrative step to their permit process. The burden is relatively light for most businesses: it's a one-page notice handoff, not an ongoing reporting obligation, and it applies equally regardless of business size.
