North Dakota changes certification rules for water well and monitoring well contractors, pump and pitless unit installers, and geothermal drillers. The board sets the nonrefundable exam fee by rule, replacing the fixed $100 fee. It also sets required surety bond amounts, replacing $15,000 for water well contractors and $2,000 for other listed contractors. Applicants must file a bond before certification to guarantee contract performance and compliance with the law. The law does not state the new fee or bond amounts. The board can offer a combined exam and one certificate for multiple roles; certificates cannot be transferred. Out-of-state applicants can receive certification if their state certifies the trade, their qualifications match North Dakota's, and they provide the required fee and bond.
North Dakota well-related certificates last up to one year and expire December 31 of the year issued. Holders must apply to renew before April 1 of the following year, submitting a fee, bond, and required education information. The board sets the renewal fee by rule, replacing the former $200 cap; the law states no new amount. Renewal requires board-approved continuing education during each two-year reporting cycle, with the board setting the course approval process by rule. New certificate holders are exempt from continuing education until the second renewal year after initial certification.
