WATER/WELLS: Urges and requests the Department of Conservation and Energy to study and evaluate water well drilling licensure requirements

This legislative resolution asks the Department of Conservation and Energy to review the rules for licensing water well drillers in Louisiana. The study will examine whether current requirements, such as needing two years of drilling experience and two professional references, create unnecessary barriers for new applicants. The department must submit its findings to the House Committee on Natural Resources and Environment by the start of the 2027 legislative session. This bill does not change any laws immediately but instead directs an official review of existing regulations to determine if modifications are needed.
