Here's the link to the IL Radon Awareness Act:
420** ILCS 46/&ChapterID=37&ChapterName=NUCLEAR%20SAFETY&ActName =Illinois%20Radon%20Awareness%20Act
There's nothing in there that requires radon testing. It's mainly for disclosure.
Also there's nothing in there about homeowners not being able to test for radon themselves. I don't know why Lowes had to remove the test kits.
