FAQ’s about HB2424 – The Pump Installers License Bill

To help clarify HB2424, Please know that:

1. There is no test written yet because there is no statute to require a test. KGWA will be working with KDHE to create the exam.  This is a step that will happen in the future.
2. We as an industry of Groundwater Professionals feel that this legislation is the next step forward to ensure that anyone who touches a well must be licensed.
3. This legislation (HB2424) establishes the "license". WHO will be required to obtain one will be defined by KDHE through statute.  This is separate from the Bill being introduced.  
4. This was going to happen eventually through KDHE.  Instead, the KGWA spearheaded this so we as groundwater professionals would be able to have a say in how it was written.  We feel it is better to be at the table then on the menu.

Please reach out to your elected officials and urge them to support HB2424
