To date, nearly 50 measures have been introduced addressing this issue in state legislatures - everything from real estate disclosure statements, to licensing and registration for mold remediators and inspectors.

The most significant bills have been those requiring registration/licensing in the state of Florida. But the three major bills addressing this issue all died as the Florida legislature came to a close. Still, major bills are pending in several other states.

Mold legislation at the federal level is unlikely to move forward, reports AIHA. The organization predicts mold will remain a hot topic at the state level for another year or so.
