This bill proposes an amendment to the composition of the New Hampshire Water Well Board by increasing the number of members from seven to eight. The new member will be an active water treatment professional with at least ten years of experience, thereby enhancing the board's expertise in water resource management. The existing structure of the board includes representatives from various sectors, such as the commissioner of environmental services, the state geologist, water well contractors, a pump installer, and a technical driller, all of whom must also have a minimum of ten years of experience in their respective fields.

The bill also outlines the terms of service for board members, stipulating that each member will serve a three-year term and may not serve more than two consecutive terms. Appointments to fill any vacancies will be for the unexpired term, and the governor and council retain the authority to remove any member for good cause. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
