The General Assembly finds that:
         (1) Excessive indoor dampness in buildings is a
    
widespread problem that warrants action at the local, State, and national levels.
        (2) Because of the public’s concern about the
    
possible public health effects of exposure to mold in buildings, as well as the effects on workers performing remediation work, and the costs of remediation for the property owner, there is a need to identify parties performing mold remediation in the State.
        (3) Because there is a need to reduce moisture that
    
fosters mold formation in buildings, the State should review current State building codes to ensure that they do not foster mold.
        (4) Parties providing mold remediation services in
    
residential, public, and commercial buildings in Illinois should be required to register with the State and provide proof of financial responsibility.
        (5) Laboratories performing tests to confirm mold
    
contamination in buildings should be certified by the American Industrial Hygiene Association using nationally recognized accreditation standards set under the Environmental Microbiology Laboratory Accreditation Program.
