AI Summary

This bill amends existing Mississippi law to exempt individuals from continuing education requirements for renewing their water well contractor licenses under specific circumstances. The Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality, which oversees water well contractors, will now be required to grant these exemptions to individuals who are either 65 years of age or older or who have accumulated at least 20 years of experience working as a water well contractor in Mississippi. This change aims to recognize the extensive experience and age of seasoned professionals in the field, potentially easing their administrative burden for license renewal.
