Water well drillers.

HB 18 clarifies the hiring authority and budget process for Wyoming's state board that licenses water well drillers and pump installers. It specifies that the board must approve the budget prepared by the board's secretary (previously unclear), and clarifies the board can hire an executive director and set employment terms. The bill directly affects the state board, its staff, and licensed water well contractors by streamlining internal operations. It takes effect July 1, 2019, and does not change licensing requirements or continuing education rules for well drillers.
