HB887

Mississippi HB887 exempts water well contractors from continuing education if they are 65 or older or have 20 years of experience.

Mississippi HB887 amends the Mississippi Code to allow the Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality to exempt water well contractors from continuing education requirements for license renewal. The exemptions apply to individuals who are 65 years of age or older or who have at least 20 years of experience as a water well contractor in Mississippi. The act also allows for exemptions from other requirements if compliance would cause undue hardship, provided the exemption does not impair the intent and purpose of the chapter. The changes take effect from July 1, 2026.
