Establishing a pump installation contractor license and requiring additional examination, qualification and record-keeping requirements for licensed pump installation contractor and water well contractors.
HB 2424 establishes a new license for pump installation contractors in Kansas and adds requirements for water well contractors. It mandates that contractors document each installation with specific details (location, pump specifications, well data) and submit records within 30 days. The bill also requires water quality analysis from Kansas-certified labs within 60 days after well completion, with reports submitted to the state health department. These provisions aim to improve groundwater data collection and safety standards for well systems.
