SR 43 Montana Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Confirm governor's appointees for board of water well contractors

This resolution confirms three governor-appointed members to Montana's Board of Water Well Contractors: Doug Askin, Andy Eslinger, and Dan O'Keefe. It does not create new policy but formally approves the Governor's appointments to this board, which oversees water well contractor licensing and regulation. The Senate's action is required under state law (MCA § 5-5-302) to finalize these appointments. The bill directly affects the board's composition and its regulatory authority over water well contractors in Montana.
