Committee agrees to use 'CSM' label and check state surveyor title in certified survey map language
Summary
Members agreed to standardize 'certified survey map' (CSM) language and to replace an outdated 'registered land surveyor' reference with the current 'professional land surveyor' title, pending statute verification.
The committee examined wording for certified survey maps and whether the draft should say 'certified survey' versus 'certified survey map.' Several members recommended adding the abbreviation 'CSM' after first use for clarity; speaker 7 noted the state naming change from "registered" to "professional land surveyor."
Chair and staff tasked a statutory check to ensure citations (chapter 236 and related sections) match the revised titles and requirements. The committee agreed to standardize the phrasing so document references are consistent and to add the CSM abbreviation once on first mention.
"I would probably label this as certified survey map," one participant said during the discussion, and another noted, "professional land surveyor is what they're called now." The committee assigned staff research on the statutory cross-reference for the next meeting.
