Where it stands
House: CONCURRED · Senate: PASSED/ADOPTED WITH AMENDMENT
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

Committee reports
Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.
Committee — OUGHT TO PASS
The committee heard testimony that this bill is a request of the Department of Environmental Services and is intended to align the Water Well Board’s funding structure with its regulatory and fee-based operations. The bill creates a dedicated, nonlapsing fund supported by fees, fines, and penalties already associated with the program, relieving pressure on the general fund while ensuring stable, predictable funding for board operations. Testimony indicated this change improves transparency, accountability, and long-term program sustainability without increasing overall state spending. Vote 12-0.
