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 2095 establishes licensing requirements for pump installation contractors and water well contractors in Kansas, requiring them to pass exams, meet new qualifications, and maintain detailed records of installations. Contractors must submit specific data (like well location, pump specifications, and water quality test results from certified labs) to the Department of Health and Environment within set timeframes. The bill also changes license terms to begin July 1 of even-numbered years, directs penalty fines to a water program fund, and modifies existing regulations to standardize record-keeping for groundwater protection. This directly affects licensed contractors performing well-related work, including installation, repair, and water quality reporting.

MINOR
The bill was amended to standardize the formatting of the header and page numbers. Additionally, a definition for 'Licensed pump installation contractor' was modified to include a redundant word ('means') that does not alter the legal meaning of the term.
TECHNICAL
The header text was updated to reflect the committee amendment status, and page numbers were adjusted to match the new layout.
DEFINITION
The definition for 'Licensed pump installation contractor' was slightly edited to include the word 'means' twice, which is a grammatical redundancy but does not change the legal definition or requirements for the contractor.
