This bill amends several sections of the North Dakota Century Code related to the operations of the board of water well contractors, including the certification process and requirements for applicants. Key changes include the removal of specific dollar amounts for examination fees and surety bonds, allowing the board to set these amounts by rule instead. Additionally, the bill modifies the renewal process for certificates, requiring applicants to submit a completed renewal application along with a fee and continuing education information as determined by the board.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new approval process for continuing education courses, which must be established by the board. It also repeals section 43-35-16, streamlining the regulations governing the board's operations. Overall, these amendments aim to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of the certification process for water well contractors and related professionals in North Dakota.
