SB 110 Summary

• Updates the Waterworks and Wastewater Works Operator Certification Act by changing certificate renewal from annual to biennial (two-year) periods, with renewal based on the applicant's birth month rather than July 1 calendar dates.

• Removes the Sunset Law requirement for the Waterworks and Wastewater Works Advisory Council, allowing it to continue indefinitely instead of terminating on July 1, 2012.

• Modifies temporary certificate provisions to expire one calendar year after initial employment (rather than being renewable annually) and clarifies that no more than one temporary certificate may be issued to the same individual during any five-year period.

• Updates statutory references throughout the act, including changing references from "Commissioner" to "Executive Director of the Department of Environmental Quality" and correcting section citations.

• Makes the act effective July 1, 2011, with an emergency declaration for immediate implementation.
