HB 887 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Water well contractors; exempt from continuing education if 65 or older or with at least 20 years experience.

HB 887 exempts certain water well contractors in Mississippi from continuing education requirements when renewing their licenses. Specifically, it requires the Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality to exempt contractors who are 65 or older or have at least 20 years of experience in the state. The bill directly affects licensed water well contractors meeting these age or experience criteria during license renewal. This change simplifies license maintenance for qualified older or highly experienced contractors without altering other licensing standards.
