AI Summary
This bill modifies the composition of the New Hampshire Water Well Board by increasing its total membership from 7 to 8 members, specifically adding a new member who is an active water treatment professional with at least 10 years of experience. The board, which is administered by the commissioner of environmental services, currently includes representatives from various water-related professional backgrounds, such as water well contractors, pump installers, technical drillers, the state geologist, and the department of environmental services. The new board member will join the existing diverse group, bringing additional expertise to the board. Board members are appointed by the governor with the council's advice and consent, serve 3-year terms, and are limited to two consecutive terms. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, allowing for a smooth transition in the board's composition.
