Summary

Committee staff summarized Senate Bill 9, which would extend filing deadlines for land surveyors’ reference and restoration reports for United States public land survey corners from 30 to 90 days and provide county filing alternatives where a county surveyor is not available.

Committee staff summarized Senate Bill 9, which the Senate passed but was substantially changed in the House. Under the Senate version described in the committee, the bill would extend the filing deadline for land surveyors to file a reference report for each corner accessory and related restoration reports from 30 days to 90 days following a survey of the United States Public Land Survey system.

Staff told committee members the bill also contains provisions specifying where to file reports when a county surveyor is not available and that county commissions may designate an alternative county office for filings. The bill includes corollary deadlines that extend from 30 to 90 days when a survey corner or accessory is likely to be altered, removed, damaged or destroyed.

Committee members said they wanted a House shell for that work and planned to discuss insertion of the Senate contents into a House bill during conference. No formal amendment or final vote on the modified contents was recorded in the committee transcript; staff said they would try to move the Senate original contents into the agreed House bill shell for conference purposes.

Ending: Committee members asked staff to identify an appropriate House shell for the Senate contents and to return with draft conference language.
